Therapy, Lexapro, and Meditation for me.

My therapist gives me a neutral, third-party perspective. I do talk therapy, but I have tried CBT and it wasn't a good fit for me. CBT felt very linear and goals based, where talk therapy feels more exploratory and relaxed.

Lexapro was a struggle in the beginning. The biggest hurdle to overcome was feeling like I was being "controlled" by a pill.

Meditation has done wonders. I aim for 5 minutes before I go to bed. Helps to clear the mind, process emotions and feelings, and let's me check in with my body to feel out stress and pain.
