My therapist and doctor prescribed some medication for anxiety and "low mood" and warned me that I could feel a lot worse for two weeks. I also know a side effect is gaining weight and that's a huge stress source for me. I've had them in my bag for weeks now and I'm just too afraid to start them.

My anxiety is much more mild than the people on here with serious problems. I know I probably shouldn't even post, considering how much worse others have it, so I'm sorry about that.
I also think I'm getting better with therapy. But I don't know how much is me trying to find reasons to not take them.

Does anyone have any advice?
