Got on medication for anxiety and I didn’t even know I had depression but I feel way better on both fronts. Like, I have less bad days and when I do they aren’t as bad. I can get out of bed to eat even on bad days and my hair hasn’t matted once since then

Just be careful when the crash hits. Dealing with that has been the worst part of it for me.

:) i can actually talk to service workers and meet new people now! Ive had less panic attacks caused by being in public, no more just barely not crippling anxiety, it’s manageable! I can get out of bed and do one hygiene thing every day even in a depressive episode. No more rotting for several days in my filth, just a couple days as I rotate what hygiene thing I do; like brushing my teeth, washing my hair, combing my hair, flossing, washing my face, etc. 100 mgSertraline is basically magic to me

Sadly art is an interest of mine and is thus often out of my hands due to my brain taking all happy chemicals away but I do tend to make a lot of art when I can, mostly funny meme stuff but sometimes I do realism. And yeah, without meds I couldn’t do it either, nothing to be ashamed of. You’re doing great either way! Ty for being encouraging, you made me smile irl with your comment
