51. I Support Meds for Everyone (Except Apparently… Me?)
Episode description
This week’s episode is for anyone who’s ever said, “I 100% support meds for mental health,” while simultaneously whispering “...but like not for me, obviously.”
Yep. That’s been me.The supportive friend. The advocate. The one who’ll help you find a psychiatrist and talk through your dosage, while quietly raw-dogging my own anxiety and insomnia for years because I’m fine. (Spoiler: I was not fine.)
In this one, I’m opening up about what finally pushed me to try SSRIs, how the first few weeks on Lexapro are going (side eyes + soft optimism), and the weird guilt spiral that comes from needing the exact thing you’ve always told everyone else is totally valid.
We’re talking:
🤸♀️The mental gymnastics of “I support meds, but…”
😔 Internalized shame (even when you “know better”)
⚖️ What’s shifted since starting
⏰ Why it took me this long (hi, perfectionism and people-pleasing)
It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s for anyone who’s been silently struggling but also too stubborn to accept help. We’re unpacking it together, one slightly-medicated step at a time.
