hello, I have another unsolicited success story I’d like to share 😉
Last winter was my worst by far, with a solid six weeks of wave after wave of passive suicidal ideation. (The ocean is right there! I could just walk into the waves like Ophelia!) I got a new psych and, like Lee, started treating my adhd too. Summer was fine, then in the fall I started to come unglued again. I got with my psych and we upped the dose of one antidepressant and it’s like a fundamental switch has flipped. The ocean is cold and final, why would I ever want to walk into it? Trump got elected again and I’m just like, welp, here we go again. The sun sets at 4:27 today and that thought doesn’t even make me want to cry!
Find a good psych and get real introspective about your brain symptoms. You really can feel better.
