After one year of taking Effexor and then relapsing into anxiety again, I can finally say I feel saved and completely happy with who I am. Meds aren’t forever (maybe), and they won’t do the work for you—but they help a lot when it comes to improving yourself.
I can’t believe that a year ago I was losing my mind over a concert (I got so anxious I even vomited afterward). Now I have an on-site job, I go out with my friends, I can sleep peacefully at night, and I even got to meet one of my favorite artists. I’m traveling to Asia by myself next year…
I just feel so blessed. My parents supported me, I have an amazing psychiatrist, and my brain is doing its best to regulate itself. I feel grateful for my whole self.
I love my life.
