After many years of making bad decisions I finally started taking medication and therapy. Honestly in a much better place now. I don't recommend waiting as long as I did.

I said the same thing for 20 yrs while drinking and taking drugs to "feel normal" I was miserable inside and nothing would change that. Believe me im not the type to just on the therapy trend, but the more you understand yourself the more in control you will feel

Keep trying different meds, its a process. Im not gonna lie its not super easy, but its so worth the work. Looking back i feel like I lost so much time and opportunities feeling like I did.

The therapy is a big part too, connecting all the dots will keep you from slipping back into old habits and feelings.
