depends on your situation of course but what’s helped me a little has been talking to my parents ab getting me into therapy and on medicine. if you are 18+ and have the resources to do so then i recommend doing the same

i worded that weird but i recommend it regardless of age. if u are 18+ then u can do it without parent permission tho is what i meant lmao

do the meds help? ik for me mine did but after a while they stopped helping so i’ve switched them completely and have felt a bit better. also i feel the same ab therapy but idk i just have had to realize that if i want to get better i have to let people help and most therapists do try to help (ofc some are useless but some can genuinely save ur life)

the meds used to help but over the summer they stopped so i switched to a different kind and that worked for a while but it stopped working again sort of? and yes i need to just let myself be helped but maybe it’s like i don’t even know who i am if im not anxious or depressed. its okay since i posted that i actually did talk to my parents and they are going to help me find another therapist soon! i am really nervous about it tho just bc they wont know anything about me like my old therapist did

that’s good that you have an appointment scheduled! i’m also in the process of finding a new therapist so i can relate ab being nervous ab having to explain everything again. also i agree, i haven’t thought ab it before until now but i feel like anxiety and depression are illnesses that genuinely change you as a person so like you said it’s hard to know who you are without them but hey, maybe it’s a good thing that when you get help you’ll find yourself again cause you’ll probably end of happier
