You Might As Well

Happy hump day! I am STOKED for today’s episode because you get to be a fly on the wall while I chat with my best friend about making/keeping friendships in adulthood and everything in between. We even uncovered some things about our own history, so in a way, this was like therapy for us LOL

“Keeping friends takes work. I think people minimize the amount of work that it takes to maintain a relationship.”

Tune in to hear about: 

1. How we rekindled our friendship after a major fight
2. Losing a friend vs. losing a boyfriend, which is worse in our opinion? 
3. Lessons learned and how to keep friendships in adulthood

Ever think of antidepressants as a last resort or something that might not be for you because you aren’t “that bad”? Yeah, I thought the same thing. Today I’m talking about my road to Prozac and how it’s ultimately benefited me on my journey to a healthier mindset. Now, when my friends think I’m out of sorts for the day, they can actually ask me if I’ve taken my meds yet 🤣

*This is NOT medical advice. Always consult with your provider if you think you might need medication for a symptom or issue you are facing.* 

“It was easy for me to recommend medication to somebody else, but when it came to taking it for myself, I gave it second thoughts.”

Tune in to hear about: 

1. What point I got to with my mental health before I decided to take medication
2. My therapist’s comments on my biggest fears in taking antidepressants 
3. Things that supported my mental health in conjunction with medication
