Please help me feel less ashamed about anti depressants.

[guild]

I've suffered from health anxiety for a while now. I've taken anti depressants in the past and I feel it's time to start again.

I can't talk to anyone in real life about this. I just feel ashamed. Please, help me feel less alone. I just feel like I've given up. I don't judge others at all for taking them, I recognise that it's just medicine and we all sometimes have to take medicine to get better. But I just can't apply this to myself.

Why would you feel ashamed?

You are taking action to try to manage your mental health issues and that involves taking medication.

You are doing the right thing.

If anyone judges you for it, you don't want them in your life...
