Eating healthy food, exercise, taking daily hikes in the woods, companionship didn’t help my depression and I desperately tried it all for years. The only way out for me was psilocybin for instant relief and then prescription medication for ongoing stability.
When I hear people dismiss, discourage or belittle medication like this it makes me sad because I wish I would have tried medication years sooner but I had these kinds of voices in my head saying “no, just try harder doing this or that you don’t need pills and all the side effects”. I think that can work for some people and is a good place to start but for others, medication is the only thing that sustainably works and that is in no way a failure like many people imply (intentionally or not).
To anyone who is struggling and can’t manage to cook healthy food or reach out or even leave the house, there IS hope!!! Even when it seems absolutely hopeless, things can change for you if you don’t give up, I promise. And please don’t let anyone stop you from trying medication if you want ❤️
