Mental healthy update! <3 · 7:58pm Apr 11th, 2023
I'm starting a new medication, which will ideally help with my depression and anxiety! Also, it's supposed to pair well with my ADHD meds, so it'll also help with that a bit as well. Very exciting! I'm not looking forward to the transitional period, but there's little I can do about that. It'll be worth it if these meds end up helping me more.
The odds are high that I won't do much writing for the next couple of weeks while I go off my old meds and get used to the new ones, but ideally, after that, I'll feel better emotionally and be able to make more progress and feel good about it!!! I'm hoping it'll help give me enough of a boost to get back to work, being off for this long has been kinda insane >.<
I've had issues with my anxiety for years, but more recently I've found my depression getting worse. Finally, after a nice chat with a few friends about mental health, I decided it was something I should try fixing. I think this is why talking about mental health is so important. I grew complacent with how I felt and how things were, until I heard about my friend's own struggles with mental health. If not for them, I wouldn't have realized I wasn't in a good place, or that there was something I could do to fix it. And now I'm excited that it could help me feel better, help me enjoy my hobbies again, and alleviate my anxiety so I can leave my house and visit with my irl friends after not seeing them for so long.
