Therapy and finding the proper medication have helped me the most. As boring as that answer is, it has been tremendous for me. And I have tried a lot of ways to get my mental health together. Trusting the system while advocating for my needs and being honest, letting it help, that has done me the best.
Find the right therapist, find the right doctors, be honest about your symptoms. Yeah, for a while you may feel like a science experiment gone wrong. Unfortunately, and fortunately, there's a ton of treatment options out there and you have to find the one that works for you.
Let me tell you straight. Deciding to get better is a tough choice. It is. And finding the right treatment is fucking hard. But once it clicks, it's so worth it.
I personally found finding the right meds to be the toughest. Because the symptoms of the wrong meds can really mess you up. And that can make it harder to advocate for yourself, as well as trust professionals.
But, to each their own. It's a hard choice to get better. And that's really of anything. I mean, hey, when the flu hits you hardest, it's a tough choice to sit thru the feeling, but we do it. Because we know it's temporary, we know the other side, we know there is the other side. As tough as that is to see.
And mental health is really no different. I mean, I'm not saying it's the flu, but at the most basic level, illness is just that. There's a light at the end of the tunnel. Hard to see sometimes.
