I take anxiety meds

I started medication for anxiety 6 months ago...

And the only shame I feel is not doing it sooner.

Having lived most of my life in a perpetual state of tense meets overwhelm, it’s been a long time coming.

Because whilst I’ve always been supportive of seeking mental health help and medication…

I struggled to swallow my own advice.

Until this year, personally-taking prescription drugs was a taboo too far for me.

So, I’m proud to share…

I finally gave myself the grace I so willingly give others.

Compassionately chosing to help myself live with the permanent pain of disordered anxiety…

To put my happiness, and that of those I love, above my hypocritcal ego or the judgement of others.

I got a snap with my first prescription — here’s to one giant leap for me and one small step for mental health kind.
