Lexapro changed my life (for real though)

I was skeptical about meds. Tried for years to just "deal with it" through exercise and sleep. Started 10mg Lexapro 6 months ago and tbh it's been a game changer. The anxiety that used to have me in a vice grip is manageable now. I still have bad days but they don't spiral into week-long depressions. If you're on the fence about medication, I get it, but it's worth talking to your doctor about. No shame in it.
