i was in a terrible place after graduating from college: i’d had to move back in with my parents who i have a tense relationship with in my hometown which i dislike. i was working a terrible menial office job. my mental health was crumbling- i was suicidal, i had constant panic attacks.
i overcame it with psych meds and therapy. i’m not saying it was easy at all. the system in the us is bullshit and especially hard to navigate when you’re already struggling. and then my first therapist sucked and my first medication did nothing but cause annoying side effects. but finally getting actually good help helped me get unstuck and finally make moves to improve my situation.
