[adamevers]

I was on antidepressants for over 3 years (why: long story for another time). The best way to describe what it did for me is that they took the really high highs and really low lows and averaged them. The best way I can describe it is if my life was a wave and someone just took a a compressor and made everything more "inline".

For me - I didn't like not feeling the really high highs and low lows. That's what life is about in my opinion. Embracing the good and bad. BUT it did help me through one of the hardest seasons of my life. Go to a qualified psychologist/psychotherapist and lay it all out. That's what I did. We talked through options - the good and the bad and in the end I decided to give them a try for a season but it's vital / crucial that you're brutally honest about where you're at with the psychologist/psychotherapist.

My contact info is in my bio - feel free to reach out. I know it's hard and life sucks sometimes but there is help and there are options. Don't give up hope.
