My Antidepressants Journey

But they did for me.
I just want to end the shame, and talk more about these things.

    I totally can relate to what you’re saying but just remember you are not alone and if you are having a difficult please talk to someone and express yourself and be honest and open please.

    oh my gosh... When you said, ".. what's the point..." This statement was a refrain that I repeated since I was 15. I'm finally getting help now. I suffered a setback recently (my father recently died). Every reason you stated for not taking antidepressants is my reason and why I've not taken them the last 4 years, but with my father's passing I've achieved new depths of depression and now I'm ready to discuss going on medication I look forward to your vlogs. You're doing great work. Feel good about your content.

    I'm on them as well. The side effects sucks, but they're better than being dead. It's brave to ask for help. There's nothing wrong with it. Thank you for talking about this! Love you!

    Hi willow I have severe depression and severe anxiety. I am calling my doctor tomorrow to get my meds changed because I’m having suicidal thoughts and stuff lately :( I have had suicidal thoughts since I was 12. I would sleep a lot, keep my thoughts and everything to myself. I sleep a lot now too since my depression is getting worse at 29 almost 30. Plus I’ve been thru so much sexual trauma and emotional mental trauma too. Also my father just passed away in august he was only 45.

    Ive been on anxiety and anti depressants since 1999 . I ve been on a few because after awhile I always got nauseous and didn’t take them. Now I’m on the mildest anti depressant and lowest dose . I have my anxiety meds and I have Ativan but I can’t carry it with me . If I have them with me and I have a moment I’ll pop the whole bottle.

    I’ve been on them since I was 14 I’m 31 now trying to go off them now because I feel like they shoved my trauma all the way down and shut off my feelings… coming off them is so rough.

    Willow, I must be honest with you... I saw the subject or title line of your video and did not want to watch this video (I hope you know I love your stuff). I should have trusted you with this subject. I am sorry, I thought this was going to be a "pity party" video (come on, they are so common). But, no, you did the subject justice, and covered it properly. I should have expected no less... I am sorry to have doubted you 😞
