  • The depressing topic of antidepressants | Ep. 14

    TW: Suicidal Thoughts, Anxiety, Depression, Self-loathing

    Happy Sunday everyone!

    Today I am talking about antidepressants - how they work, my experience with them, and why I have decided to start using these meds. As always, this is an account of MY experiences and I am by no means saying that antidepressants are magic - you have to go to therapy and put in the work, but they definitely help a lot. That said, not everyone shines when using medication - some use natural medicine, or do yoga and meditation. Whatever works for YOU is what should be your priority. 

    Lots of Sunday Love from me, xx
