The Anxiety

Growing up I was, I guess you could say, mean. I had a short temper. Once I got married, nearly 10 years ago, I decided I wasn't someone I'd want to be married to because of my short fuse and moodiness. So I got on anxiety medication for the first time in my life. I'm a much better me now that I'm on it. Yep, I take medication. I think my husband agrees that I am a happier me. I think we all need to do what we can to be our better selves for those around us. No one is perfect- if you feel like you would benefit from taking prescribed medication, then do it.

The Depression

I've also been off and on depression medication. There are times I have no desire to do my usual daily tasks. The only task I wanted to do was sleep. I'd cry a lot- and more than usual. I am usually a crier. Most any emotion makes me cry- that's how I tend to express myself. But when I get into my depressed phases I cry A LOT and for no reason at all. When I get into a depressed state, it's because something in my life has triggered it. But I know that isn't the case for many depressed people. I restate: No one is perfect- if you feel like you would benefit from taking prescribed medication, then do it.

Yes, I take medication and I am a better me for doing it.
