My psychologist noticed my anxiety wasn’t getting any better after 2-3 years of sessions and she finally caved and told me to see a doctor about SSRIs. 

After a ridiculous process, I got them in March and started taking them. 

Fast forward to now, and I could honestly cry from relief. I feel like my anxiety has gone from 100 miles a minute to a decent 25. 

Is it gone? No. 

But holy fuck is there a massive difference. I didn’t notice it at first until I realized I wasn’t spending most of my day anxious and worried about every little thing. Wow. What a feeling to experience after 4 years of constant anxiety. I didn’t realize how bad it had gotten until now. I have lots to work on still but I’m in the best place I’ve been since probably 2015.

There is hope everyone. Keep going.
