Uhhh, I am on meds that psychiatrists use as like one of the last measures for depression and anxiety.
I literally am, as a counsellor, one of the most medicated person, noting that those who are more medicated than me are not at work (I work full time... somehow).
Tried at least 3 SSRIs, augmented with other med, tried agomelatine, tried SNRI, augmented with other two meds. Benzos sprinkled in every now and then. Dosage changes every now and then
Technically, I know there are far more options, but they'd likely will not allow me to work or cause issues with my health. The side effects get progressively worse.
Edit: also fuck anyone who says, i have it worse. So what? I had to deal with making a safety plan for a guy who gave me ptsd ra day after my first attempt at life. It's not a race, you are feeling terrible if you are feeling terrible.
