I've been on prescribed medication against depression and anxiety for three months now. It's a small white pill that I take after getting up every morning. A box with 100 pills costs me 5 euros.
This medication has improved my life so much, it is honestly hard to describe. I had intense physical symptoms from depression and anxiety. Hardly a week would pass without me thinking that I was seriously ill and going to die. And this pill has reduced these problems by 90%. The problems are very small now. They're manageable.
Just putting this out there for people who are in a bad place right now and who, like I used to, feel like there's no way out of this and it's gonna stay this way forever. There is a way out of this. It doesn't have to stay like this forever.

Also posting this for people who are sceptical of psychotropic drugs (like I am) and who are afraid of side effects (like I am).
This is a real W for mainstream medicine. This stuff actually works. And I'm hardly getting any side effects. If you're in a similar boat to where I was a few months ago, who knows. It might help you too.

Well over a year into all of this at this point and this medication is still working extremely well for me. I still get episodes during which I feel extremely ill every now and then, but they're shorter. They last minutes or maybe hours. And I know this shit by now. I can tackle the underlying problem and solve it.
The little pill I take every morning helps me remain calm and not let things spiral out of control. It really supports me tremendously.
