1. I got my first set of anti-depressants and anxiety tablets today. I also got pills because I’ve been struggling with my concentration. Studying has been a nightmare.
2. Not only because I knew something was seriously wrong but because I wasn’t used to just making it, just just passing. I graduated top of my class, always got distinctions in my work so the fact that, that wasn’t the case put an even bigger strain on me mentally.
3. I always advocate for getting help if you have mental health struggles yet I wasn’t doing anything to help myself. Today was filled with a lot of tears. Tears of joy because I was finally getting the help that I needed and because of the immense support of my family
4. When I say immense support I do mean IMMENSE. Reassuring me that I would be okay and that we’d do what’s best for me because nothing is worth it if it comes at the cost of my mental health.
5. However, there were tears of sadness too. I’m angry that my brain isn’t able to do what it’s suppose to do. Getting help doesn’t mean everything is perfect over night. Accepting the fact that your brain needs help to do what it needs to do isn’t something you can just accept
6. It takes time. Healing isn’t linear.
I thank God for my faith. There’s nothing like crying your heart out to your Heavenly Father knowing that He hears you and feeling His comfort.
