someone please encourage me to keep taking my Effexor meds. I’ve been on them for three years and I’m spiraling and haven’t taken them in two days. I’m tired of needing medicine to feel normal.

Everyone needs chemicals to feel normal, the difference is just that your brain isn’t producing them and needs a little help.

You won’t need it forever (unless you have a medical condition I’m unaware of) this is just a temporary way to help your brain along while you figure things out.

This sounds so dumb but that actually made me tear up. I take them for depression and I feel like I get judged a lot for it (like that I need “crazy pills” to function) so hearing it spun like it’s just a chemical imbalance means a lot

You aren’t crazy at all, you brain is an organ and it’s not functioning how it should do you treat it with medication. It’s like taking a supplement because your body isn’t producing enough collagen or something similar.
