What are Some thoughts on Medication ? I got prescribed some about 2 weeks ago and been taking them but I’m freaking out now because of what they say ( it can cause suicidal thoughts ) and now I’m like what if it happens to me ???
Mine do sometimes and I’ve never attempted but drawing what I’m feeling and writing down every terrible emotion and thought I’m having then crumpling it and throwing it away helps me, calling a friend or watching a funny movie can help too. I like the crumple paper method because it’s like I’m throwing away those bad thoughts and typically when I read my thoughts on paper I think “well that’s not true!! I am smart, I am worthy, I do deserve to live, I am loved” hope this helps If you need to talk DM me I will send my insta or snap 💖
So, when i was prescribed meds i was suuuper anxious to take them bc of the side effects, but i forced myself with the help of my therapist at the time and i realized that it’s rly not that bad. It also helped me knowing if they did make me feel weird, i would know exactly why. Try to think of it like, does the pro of taking the meds (feeling better) outweigh the con? (Possibly having short term side effects)
