so i've recently been prescribed zoloft and an anti-anxiety med and its honestly made me feel like the me before my anxiety and all the mental s*** completely took over my life but i can't help but wonder if i'm a weak person for taking pills just to function normally.

what ya'll experience with s*** like this? apologies if a thread like this has already been made :​)

No

Wanting to feel better is not weak

Nah lol. Used them for a few months and it helped a lot even after I stopped

no

Yeah dude being healthy is for absolute PUSSIES!

Nah and everybody telling you otherwise can screw off.

Nope because you’ve already decided you’d like to get better and no one knows how you’re feeling. You are the only one that knows how difficult things can be for you so they can’t call you weak.

Absolutely not, this is meant to help better yourself & improve the way you feel and act throughout the day.

No. Taking any action against these kinds of problems is one of the hardest and strongest things a person can do.

Love you man, wish you the best

No OP.

no, of course not

no, but just prepare for the brain zaps

Obviously

I’m the same way op. That’s why I never take my meds. I feel weak taking pills to function normally. I’d rather get better naturally.

Nah you’re good

Hope you get well soon!

thank you all so much for the encouraging words and support! means a lot. much love <3

pray things get/are better for all of us!

really? what was your experience with it? and were you doing therapy too?

no, it is scary, taking the step is a sign of strength to get better

wouldnt say it makes you weak but I believe it takes away from your humanity/personality

i feel you on that man. i tried to deal with it naturally too but haven't really been able to control it that way. mind if i ask you how its going for you so far?

Trust me, nothing takes more away from your humanity and personality than mental health conditions

I’d say you got it backwards
