Yup, this was me for 18 years. Doctor had me fixed in about 45 minutes.
Massive life improvement all around.
Feel dumb about waiting 18 years, so I talk about it to break down the stigma associated with mental health.
- cakebrewery 8y agoCare to elaborate what the fix was?
- onemoresoop 8y agoHow did your doctor had you fixed in 45 minutes?
- rhspeer 8y agoWell I took a written survey about my symptoms answered some questions. Doc said my brain did not produce enough of something and wrote me a script. She's a funny old lady and was hilarious about how she liked these pills because it did not effect my funny hand gestures here. I was sceptical, but took half a pill as she instructed. Next thing I know I am eating a sandwich at chick-fill-a not hating Chick-fil-A people thinking normal is going to be EASY. I kept taking half pills a week longer that instructed because the positivity was a bit much to take. I accidentally took 2 pills a couple times and I feel so positive I annoy myself. If I forget a pill the old familiar negativity and muscle pain in my shoulders comes back. I do still dislike Chick-fil-A people.
- onemoresoop 8y agoMake sure you educate yourself on what those pills you're taking do and follow through a treatment, not just take them indefinitely.
- rhspeer 8y agoI recognize the good intentions of your comment. However, I want to push back a bit. I was depressed, but not from trauma. I avoided going to the doc to avoid long term prescription drug use and therapy. I regret that decision, and it cost me career opportunities and damaged relationships. It is a legitimate concern, but wildly overstated in my mind for 18 tough years.
