Honestly, the first thing you need to do is get on top of your mental health. It’s good that you’re seeking treatment - I know how hard that step can be. Don’t give up on that yet. If your treatment isn’t working, talk to your care team (doctor/therapist/whatever) about trying something else. The first meds I tried made me super sick. I was lucky that the second thing worked well with minimal side effects. Everyone is different and has different needs. There are tons of different med options out there.

Once you’ve found a treatment that works, you’ll be in a better place to make decisions going forward.

I will look into different support options. I'm just afraid I'll be put on a med that makes me feel like garbage again

It's all trial and error. If one thing doesn't work, try another. If that doesn't work, try something else until you find what works for you. You got this. Don't give up hope yet <3

Thank you. I just wish it didn't take so long to see if it a med works 🤣. The adjustment periods are sometimes like 6 weeks long
