So the only meds I’ve been on has been Zoloft... it felt like it helped but then just felt like a placebo more than anything. I stopped taking them a few months ago.

Today I am incredibly sad, feeling alone etc., which is making me revisit the idea of meds. The only thing stopping me—do I really need them? Sometimes I feel like my BPD/depression/anxiety isn’t so severe that I need to be medicated. Granted, I’m in a relatively stable patch in my life, maybe I’m not seeing the whole picture. I was in a really bad place earlier this year.

I’m afraid they will change me and make my job harder or something. Just a bunch of fears and doubts. I don’t trust psychiatrists.

But I am so sad today. I don’t know how to describe it, I’m sure you know what I mean.

Has anyone else ever felt like this, and did you seek meds? Did they help?
