Hey man, I’m just going to tell the truth for you. I think it will help. You’re just starting your journey of getting better. It feels like nothing is working and there’s no hope. If mental illness was a line you’re right in the middle between start and finish.

I got to the point I gave up and gave in to getting medications right. It saved my life. I literally said, “i’m going to do exactly what they’re telling me to do, to a T, with no shortcuts.” This led to a new antidepressant every 3.5 weeks with a week n change of insomnia each time. I was ****ing serious and ready to go to any length to get medication right.

I learned how to be my advocate for myself. That means saying, “this isn’t working with this therapist, let’s try a new one.” etc...

If you do what your told (this coming from a rebellious person) that’s how you get past the middle of the line to come out the other side. I advise, do everything they tell you and buy in 110%.
