Hey Everyone!

phew so its been more than 4 months huh? well we’ve got a lot to catch up on!

First things first, i went to see a psychiatrist!!!!!!!!! I’m so proud and happy for myself for doing so! The one thing i could advise to people struggling is definitely to seek professional help. Speaking it out, letting your thoughts go, sharing your views of the world that you see and everything it will lift a weight off of your shoulder. I! Promise!

I went to the appointment on 12th Aug. Let me tell you why I didnt chicken out, my parents set up the appointment and all because obviously they know i needed help. So a few hours before the appointment I was told I had to go. I suppose the whole reason is because I didnt have time to overthink about going so i didnt panic as much as I would before. Also, my parents took me to lunch to one of my favourite place beforehand so I guess that played a role too. Since I wasnt anxious. Thats one tip I’d like to give to people who are going to an appointment.

Despite all that, I told the doctor everything and she gave me some medications. It was Palliperidone and Brintellix. Ive taken Brintellix before so its all good. but Palliperidone gave me major side effects. Every side effect someone might experience, I had it all. Not to mention, it all happened in two days of consuming it! Yes, it was horrifying. Anyways, now i have a new pill called Aripiprazole. Its okay. There are side effects just not major as the former. Oh I feel like it helps me feel much much more confident. And my surprise to you is, IM BACK IN COLLEGE! I’m going to classes now yay! Its a short semester so its not a pack schedule. Oh, I thank God for everything. Im so very grateful.
