Inner Peace to Go

Mental health, meds and me

Because it's Mental Health Awareness Month, I wanted to share my own mental health and medication journey with you.

It can be so scary to confront our own mental health issues (it certainly was for me), and it's often complicated by whatever stigma and hangups we have about medication, therapy and all of that (true for me).

So I am sharing my warts-and-all journey through diagnosis and treatment for generalized anxiety disorder and major depressive disorder and my experiences with Zoloft and attempts to get off of it.

I am not a licensed mental health professional, just a human being sharing her experience. If you need medical help, please connect with a doctor. But if you want to talk to someone else walking on the path to mental wellness, feel free to reach out!

What do you need to feel more peaceful? Let me know! I'm on Instagram @thesandycohen and at innerpeacetogo.com.
