Starting medication and feeling weird about it

T

Just got on antidepressants like a week ago and I feel like I'm admitting I'm weak or broken or something. My buddy at work asked why I seem quieter and I almost told him but couldn't. I know that's stupid, I know plenty of people take them, but there's still this stigma in my head. Anyone else been through this? Does it actually help or am I just wasting time and money?

Man, taking care of your mental health is the opposite of weakness. That's you being smart enough to get help so you can be the best version of yourself for your kid. Nothing wrong with that at all.

A week in is still super early. Your brain's adjusting to the meds. Give it a few more weeks before you judge how you're feeling. You're doing the right thing.
