Medicine Doesn’t Always Help

You’re right. But some meds don’t work for people. Some meds do work for people. and, usually, seeing a really for real psychologist that listens to what you need to spill out and offers good relevant ideas and then determines what kind of behavior has changed in you over time…is actually not the worst idea. Then, going to a good psychiatrist to get the RIGHT pills to suit you is a good idea. But, know this: there is never any medication that is going to instantly heal you. Meds help adjust you to be prepared for certain circumstances in life, so you will understand how to counter them. It’s like instead of getting kicked in the face all the time with no relief, you will occasionally dodge those kicks or even kick back…with letting time and meds to teach you and strengthen you. There’s one thing that none of us humans can cope with, and that’s endurance (persistence, patience). Look, I’ve been takin anti-depressant and anxiety meds for a couple of years now. Sometimes things will feel peachy(er) than usual, other times things will feel just the same. That’s when I tell my doc that 6 times outta 10 it feels like things aren’t working. But, then I just get a higher dose, or try something different. Hope something I said helps ya. Take care.
