excuse my language, but if you’re just starting out i need you to realize how wack the stigma behind antidepressants are.

modern medicine found out a way to make our brains happy and calm when we can’t do it. and that’s amazing. prozac is not a dangerous drug to take, and more people than you think take it.

do not terrify yourself into more pain because you hear “side effects” and “antidepressants change you or make you a zombie”.

don’t listen to those people who say “OH DIET AND EXERCISE IS ALL YOU NEED, MEDITATE, BREATHE”. yes, do those things too, but you’re not weak for taking prozac. you’re taking care of yourself.

you were prescribed prozac for a reason, by a medical professional who truly in their heart of hearts and in your best interest thought it would help you. and it just might if you let it.
