I know how so many of us view antidepressants because I used to be that person... 'I'm not someone who takes medication', 'I'm not taking something that will change my personality', 'I don't want to put something foreign in my body' [DESPITE TAKING THE HORMONAL PILL WITH NO QUESTIONS ASKED WHEN IT CAN LITERALLY CHANGE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU]. Sorry, passionate about that one.

Anyway, like many people I saw those who took antidepressants as 'other' - a solution only for those who are REALLY fucked up. But one day I was forced into a situation where antidepressants really felt like my only option, and what a great day that was!

I'm not on antidepressants anymore and it's important to caveat that I took them for anxiety rather than depression, so I can only speak from personal experience. But sertraline truly changed my life in the most wonderful way possible. I have a love-love relationship with it and I want to share the love and remind you that you're not a failure for choosing medication - it could be the bravest and best decision you ever make. Ignoring your issues is for the weak!!!!! Don't let your ego convince you otherwise xxxxxx
