I think I need to take that step soon. Been dealing with a lot of depression and stress as well. So glad you’re doing better!

It can be a bit scary, and I know the first week or so I was a bit out of it, but if you have a continuing problem and it’s affecting your quality of life, then it might be worth it to talk to your doctor.

But thank you as well, and if you ever need to talk, drop me an ask.

So just something personal, you can skip if  you want.

I’ve been struggling with depression and anxiety for a long time. And it’s only got worse over the last year or two. So I finally got myself a therapist and she recommended I try medication in addition to the therapy

So about two weeks ago I started Wellbutrin. And it’s helping a LOT. I didn’t realized how stressed and anxious I was all the time until I wasn’t. I still have worries  and things, but I don’t feel so overwhelmed. I feel like I can handle things instead of hiding. I’ve had some stuff come up this week in addition to PMS and while I’m still working with it, I’m not freaking out like I might have a month ago. I’m not snapping at my spouse for no good reason. I’m actually smiling and laughing more.

I know medication isn’t for everyone, but, at least so far, this is making a helluva difference for me (and my family, by extension). If could handle a 14 hour drive (each way) and family issues and not argue once the entire time, then I know something good is going on.
