The title says it all. Antidepressants changed my life, for the better. I'd been having bad anxiety for years, and it got to the point where I was having constant anxiety that was affecting my ability to function. I couldn't sleep, barely had an appetite, dreaded going to school or work. It just sucked. So, I decided to get over my fear of going to the doctor and get some help, because hey, what's the worst that could happen? It took about 3 months to find the right medication, and until I found the right one it sucked. But once I found a medication that worked with my body (Prozac) I felt great! My mood has been so much better, I no longer have crazy mood swings and get a solid 8 hours of sleep every night. There's not a sharp edge to my anxiety anymore, and I can finally feel calm and at peace. I even flew alone to see my sister, which is something I never would've done 6 months ago. And I finally got enough confidence to cut someone out of my life that's been dragging me down for years. I just feel so much better and more like myself. I'm not dreading college applications anymore and I pretty much have an idea of where I want to apply and when I need to have the applications done. I have motivation, I'm driven to succeed, and I feel like everything in my life is going to turn out okay.
