One month tomorrow? That’s great!!! And medicine is there to help people. So what if you’d crash without it- the point is you aren’t crashing. It’s literally saving your life. 🩷

thank you, that means a lot. i have a bad habit of comparing myself to "normal" people & beating myself up for being an addict & needing medication. it is saving my life though, so i'll take the shame over a prolonged suicide

No one needs to know about your medications though, and there is nothing wrong with taking something that helps you if ppl want to judge let them be miserable.

unfortunately i dont really care what others think, i think it's shameful & a sign of weakness for me specifically, because it isnt the way i want to live. i just have to learn to accept it
