exxohhbebz: Did you ever take medication for your SA is so which? And did u feel it helped. Medication has been the only thing that has helped me. Been in therapy for 2 years. I feel like my da is genetic ya no and cnr just be helped with that cbt stuff but hey

I take medication for my depression and my anxiety together. I’m currently on Fluoxetine (about a year?) and Quetiapine (half a year?) which have both given me pretty good results. That being said, just because it works for me, doesn’t mean it’ll work for you, so please keep that in mind, and don’t take any medication without consulting your therapist or whoever would be next in line for that of thing.

Medication isn’t required to overcome social anxiety, it can be overcome WITHOUT medication, since as I try to stress, overcoming SA includes a shoot load of facing your fears and getting out and doing it.

For some people, medication is used to calm them in the moment, some it’s a stabilizer, some it’s this and that and whatever else. 

Whatever works, I guess. Best of luck, yo!

Anonymous: A video about glamourisation or mental illnesses?

That’ll be the next video, actually. I said some stuff about it in the one I posted today but I edited it out, saving it for its own vidya. :o

(Thanks, though!)

Anonymous: What if you were misdiagnosed? Psychologists don't always get it right.

I’ve already brought this up. Some psychologists DON’T get it right, but that’s a whole other situation than self-diagnosing. 

I’m calling it quits on asks and such for the night since I wanna focus on other stuff, but yeah, if you want me to go into this I’ll gladly do that tomorrow!

Honestly, I don’t know what you guys prefer, but I prefer replying to asks and talking to you guys rather than just making text images, I dunno.

(I guess the whole text images thing got boring for me after two years of running this blog…)
