this shit will change your life. the stigma around it is still so strong... and i get why people have their reservations. new things are scary - is this gonna make me feel like a different person? will i lose my sparkle? what if it makes me worse? all valid questions... however, you will never know until you try! medications have really changed and truthfully saved my life. side note - also love therapy. don't settle for a therapist you're not feeling! anyways, there is no shame if you need meds to function. they make these for a reason :o)

i used to be so scared of taking meds, I’d had a history of bad reactions to anti anxiety medication. but my adhd meds have been completely life changing. they are the only thing that has ever helped my ME/CFS and I am the most functioning I have been in 6 years. Don’t be scared to try things that might help, cause if they work boy can they work! I’m so grateful for them this morning!

I was really opposed after a bad experience with meds in my teens but I can honestly say I would not be able to do the work in therapy that I’ve been doing without some storebought chemicals. if you don’t like the side effects, tell your doc to take you off! Or try another med! Every body and brain is so different.

I’ve been on and off meds for about a decade now and I have a complicated relationship with them- I am a raging hypochondriac so when Prozac stopped floating my boat and it came time to try something new, my OCD made me too scared of side effects to commit to anything. I also let the stigma kinda get to me and was defiantly off them in college when I needed them the most :-/ but when Covid hit I was like…. Perhaps it’s time to dive back in … and I’m so grateful I did. Absolutely no shame in it I love my lil pills

i just saw this tweet and oh goodness. my heart hurts for the op, and the message is just so... spot on? energy that's unreciprocated seriously hurts so bad. when your whimsy isn't appreciated, when the simple joys you partake in are crushed by anyone, especially a partner..... oh no honey RUN. a relationship like this is so unfulfilling, you deserve a person who's all in on you finding childlike wonder in the littlest, most mundane things. for the dreamers, the idealistic, such as myself - don't let anyone dull your sparkle like this. that's all <3

you can replace cringe with really any adjective you like, but cringe is the one i gravitate to the most. living unapologetically as my truest self is the most important thing to me as i've gotten older. the right people will be in your corner, will love your "cringe", or whatever it may be. because there's nothing as freeing as being yourself.
words applicable to me that i could replace cringe with:
crazy (a classic)
silly
annoying (lovingly)
