Still battling

Hey everyone,

I have had mental health issues (anxiety, then OCD, then depression) since 2021. I have been on anti-depressants since Oct 2023. I was getting better but am having a couple of lows. Why is it taking so long to feel better? Why is this still happening to me? (sidenote- I also know sleeps really important, excerside and eating well but I just don't want to you know?)

Idk if anyone can relate but Im really struggling,

Thanks

I'm really sorry to hear you're going through this.

 

It's tough when mental health issues seem to linger despite efforts and medication.

 

Recovery isn't always a straight line—it can have ups and downs.

 

Sometimes it takes time to find the right balance with medication or therapy.

 

Be patient with yourself; healing isn't always quick or linear.

 

It's okay to struggle and have setbacks.

 

Take small steps, even if it's hard, and reach out for support when you need it.

 

You're not alone in this journey.
