Anti-depressants and Anti-Anxiety medications have worked well for me since ages ago, and this comic isn’t about how they’re bad. Sometimes they’re bad, and don’t work, and other times they’re good and do work – and sometimes they’re a complex mix of both.
Last year I doubled my dosage, because things were really poos, and then when I stopped feeling poos the double dose just stopped letting me feel anything – that’s why I started coming down. I reached a point early this year where I was back on my original dose and wondered what would happen if I came down even further – so this is what I’m doing. It’s kinda an experiment, to see what happens, and mostly it’s been good. But, sheesh that anxiety is on full volume.
I wanted to share this comic now, because I just started a new project with Rainbow Youth encouraging people from LGBTIA/Rainbow/Queer communities to make submissions to New Zealand’s inquiry into Mental Health and Addictions Services. It’s called #OutLoud and you should check it out (although – trigger warning, there’s talk about mental illness and suicide)
