Mental Health 1d
I don’t think people truly recognize how debilitating mental illness can be. Ive been untreated for depression for years and I just moved home postgrad. I wish things could be better but I genuinely have no drive to do anything to get better. I wish I did

Is there a reason you’re untreated/unmedicated? I’ve been medicated since high school and i genuinely wouldn’t be living my best life without it.

What helps you best? Medication or therapy? How long did it take to find a medication that works for you?

I was lucky enough to find the medication that worked for me right off the bat. For a lot of people, it takes a while of trying different ones to see what works for them. I’ve been taking Wellbutrin since I was about 15 and I’m 20 now. At first, I went to therapy but then I stopped bc I feel like I didn’t need it anymore. I did start going back when I was in my freshman year here but then I stopped again. Definitely try therapy at the beginning of your mental health journey.

I’m so sorry your family is that way. I understand how stressful that can be. And it’s unfortunate you don’t have the resources you need. If you ever need someone to talk to, you could talk to me :) and really, I insist. Mental health is no joke and I would love to help in any way!! Please look after yourself and I wish the best for you.
