I am on twitter where using psychiatric meds is a divisive topic. I finally went on them after trying to deal with my depression for five years on my own. It was hard for me to ask my dr because I felt like a failure. After being on the highest dose for 4 months, I stopped crying everyday, stopped having suicidal ideation every day and felt normal feelings again. Now when I see people shame others for being on meds, I say something. Thank you for sharing your story.
