My Experience With Taking Antidepressants | Depression and Anxiety | Mental Health

- PLEASE reach out if you or anyone you know is in crisis or struggling with their mental health.
I've been struggling with anxiety and depression for as long as I can remember. When I was little, however, I was too afraid talk to someone and get the help I needed. I always assumed I was fine and that everyone goes through moments of depression and anxiety. In 2017, I had no choice but to reach out. I started my antidepressant journey with Lexapro and, later, Wellbutrin. I hope this helps at least some of you.
In this video, I discuss anxiety, depression, suicide, and my experience with antidepressants.
Approximately 1 in 5 adults in the United States (43.8 million, or 18.5%) experiences mental illness. And, of those individuals, only 41% in the past year received professional health care or other services. The stigma is real. You are not alone. Let me repeat this, you are not alone.

Maddie you are so open and real with your viewers I appreciate it so much!
Thank you for showing your point of view on it
This is so kind! You are so sweet. Thank you so much for watching and for your love and support. lots of love to you! 💖
girl thank you for always being sooo vulnerable. nothing bothers me more than when people claim depression because they're having a bad day, yet so many people who ACTUALLY have mental health illnesses are scared of coming out because people easily look down on them! Soooo many people also dont know that anxiety, depression are ALSO caused by chemical imbalances, aside from nature/nurture. I LOVE THIS VIDEO.
Hi, sweet friend! Oh my gosh, thank you so, so much for your beautiful words and loving comment. I so agree with you! It is incredibly frustrating. And it does make it harder for those who are actually struggling to speak out! Do you know a lot of people who "claim" to have depression/anxiety? Sending lots of love your way, beautiful! 💜
awwww that's so amazing! Thank you so much for telling us about it!! You're soo strong xx amazing 😍
Awe, this means so much! So appreciate it. Lots of love! 💕
Thanks for opening up girl. I remember going through depression. It’s very difficult. Glad I took medicine for the time being.
So proud of you! How was your experience after starting the medication? Thank you so much for sharing. Lots of love to you! 💕
You're so sweet!
There is nothing wrong with taking antidepressants,
Some of need that extra boost and there is nothing wrong with that!
I came here from post notification!! ❤️
You're so sweet, too! Thank you so much for your continual support! It means so much. And you are so right! I wish everyone had a similar mindset as you. Unfortunately, not everyone does. So much love to you 💕
i love that you are able to share these stories because i understand how difficult it can be but you are so so strong and i am very grateful that you talk about this so myself and others dont feel so alone ❤️
Awe, girl! You are never alone. Thank you so, so much for watching and for loving words. Do you struggle with depression or anxiety? So much love to you!
@@maddiel.6861 i struggle with anxiety and sometimes it gets to me really bad but i never share it with anyone but hopefully i can one day :)
Nothing is wrong with taking your medicine! I'm sure alot of people who do struggle with mental health find comfort in hearing your story! I love how authentic you are, you derisive nothing more than happiness!💛
You are so sweet, love! Thank you so much for your beautiful words. So much appreciation. You deserve all the happiness, too! ❤️
This is amazing and nice of you for sharing with us, I think people shouldn’t really be ashamed of taking medical cares ❤️ btw you so pretty xx
Definitely!! They shouldn't, even though, sadly, so many people are! YOU are so pretty. Lots of love to you! ❤️
I now have a better understanding of depression. I have friends who struggle with depression and it's very hard to keep them cheered up but I get to learn that they don't choose it and sometimes the medicine is not 100% effective but it helps.. I personally have dealt with high stress and I can't imagine what it is going through depression. Keep going girl, speaking about it is very helpful for awareness. Hugs to you 💕💕
You are so amazing!! I am so sorry to hear you have friends who struggle with depression. Watching a loved one battle with depression can be tough! You are such a good friend for trying to lift their spirits and ease some of the discomfort. And you're absolutely right, that the medicine isn't always 100% effective. I am so sorry to hear you've dealt with high stress. That can be excruciating. Was it prolonged stress? So much love to you!! Thank you for your beautiful words and loving comment 💕
respect you so much for opening up and sharing your journey! v important topic
Thank you so much, love! Hugs! 💕
I truly love that you uploaded this. I myself struggle with anxiety and have always been very skeptical with taking any antidepressants. Thank you for being super awesome and vulnerable
Omg! This is so touching. Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your story. I never would have guessed you struggle with anxiety. You're always so upbeat and jolly! And seem SO confident! You must hide it well. And that totally makes sense; taking antidepressants can be a scary thing! Do you do therapy or are you able to work through your anxiety on your own? You are so strong! Thank you for being so incredible. 💜
Maddie and Chris it’s something that happens from time to time. i’ve done therapy and that’s helped me tremendously! i only have minor slip ups here and there but ultimately i think it’s about finding what works for you like you said!
You are SO strong!!! I am so proud of you. You are a huge inspiration!
Thanks for sharing this, speaking as someone who's struggled over the years too I really appreciate this. Love your edits/music by the way and congrats on hitting 400 Subs! Liked for you! :)
Thank you so much for your loving, kind words. It means so much! Do you take medication for mental health struggles? And awe, thank you for the encouragement. Your channel is amazing! Just subscribed :)
@@maddiel.6861 Hi Maddie! My pleasure, I mean it! Thanks for your kind words too!
I did try several medications years ago, but found nothing that worked at all for me. One of them actually made it so I only slept about 30 minutes a day for around 2 months and then I had to get off the medication, it was so weird to never sleep and never be tired, didn't like it!
I don't take anything these days, I have learned tons over the years and cope a lot better now, though there's still days sometimes but I really hope that you can continue to thrive and be joyful in life. It's hard sometimes but you've got support and others who have gone through it too and can relate. Don't let anyone make you feel bad or worthless, you've got so much to offer and you're doing it through your chosen medium, UA-cam! Keep it up Maddie, you're doing amazing! Really proud of you! :)
Aww your doing great love we enjoy watching you so much♥️
This means the world! Thank you endlessly! We love watching you, too! 💕
Thanks now I know more about the medications,the use and how it works 💕 this is very educational 💖thanks for sharing more ppl should watch this and know more
Thank you so much for watching and for your sweet words! Do you struggle with your mental health? 💜
Aww thanks for sharing this video! I have been struggling with depression for the last year and i've had therapy but i don't think it helps much so taking antidepressants is probably going to be the next step for me to get better. ❤️
Awe, thank you so much for watching. This means the world! And thank you for your loving comment. I am so sorry to hear you've been struggling with depression for the last year and that therapy doesn't help. It's not easy. Have you started taking antidepressants yet or is that something you plan to do? Thank you so much for sharing your story and for being vulnerable. If there's anything you need, let me know. Lots of love 💕
You are so knowledgable and the video was so well thought out. Talking anything that has to do with mental health is def a sensitive topic and i’m proud of you for making this video ❤️
You are just the sweetest! These words mean so much. Thank you, love! If I'm not mistaken, you've struggled with your mental health, too, right? So much love to you! 💜
Maddie and Chris no problem ❤️❤️ and nahh haha
Awe ❤️
My depression is not sadness ,it's frustration ,anger ,and being prone to conflicts ,I never felt sad ,and I have clinical depression (diagnosed)
Take lorazepam❤❤
@@tyrel-fg7zf no ,don't need it 😊 💜
love this video you go girl! you are so strong and I wish you the best in your journey
You are just the sweetest! Thank you so much for your lovely comment and kind words. Appreciate it more than you'll ever know. Do you struggle with your mental health? Lots of love ❤️
@@maddiel.6861 no problem girly! mental health is just as important as physical health! I support you 100% and always wish you the best. But to answer your questions.. I've never been clinically diagnosed but I'm 99.99% sure I have a phobia of spiders! I've worked through it on my own and I've made a lot of progress! Taking a psychology class and learning about therapy and how it works and all that really helped me understand what I was feeling and how to "deal" with it :)
@@jenvlogs6564 Awe, thank you so much, love!!! I appreciate you endlessly. Omg, spiders can be so scary! I totally feel. I'm glad you've been utilizing knowledge from your courses to help you cope. You're so strong!
This is Such A great video!!!❤️❤️You’re Amazing!!!
Awe, thank you! 💕
thank you so much for sharing!! there's never anything wrong with taking medication! 💗
Awe, thank you, love for the sweet words! 💖
Thank you for sharing your story. I'm sorry you had to suffer in this way.. 👍
Awe, you are so sweet! Don't apologize, it's all part of life's journey. So much love to you!
thank you for sharing this 💖🥺
Thank you so much for the support!! 💖
Great video! Thanks for sharing! There’s absolutely nothing wrong with taking medication! ....Subscribed btw! ❤️
So much love to you! Thank you for the love and support! Love your channel 💖
Very interesting combo. Wellbutrin alone I didn’t like the adrenaline feeling, but with an SSRI probably much more enjoyable
This stuff really works just take your meds and end your suffering
I think antidepressants can be a trap, people get stuck into taking them forever but I’m all for things that help people with their depression. As someone who doesn’t have it I can’t really have an opinion on this topic but I think your so brave for sharing your experience ❤️
You are so sweet!! Thank you so much for watching! And it's true, people can get stuck into taking them forever, but I guess everyone is different. Haha. So much love to you! 💜
Hi did u have physical symptoms like chest pain, lump in the throat sensation, tingling, breathing issues and stomach issues?.... I was dealing with them since 3 months..
It was in the beginning of this month that the lump in my throat sensation got worse and was not going for weeks... I was dying everyday.... I was diagnosed with Generalised anxiety disorder I'm on SSRI since 12 days and I feel really really good already.. I'm coming back to living and I'll take them if I need them .... I'm no more ashamed of taking them
Hello , Did you recover your feelings and physical emotions? How long does it last? I just took 25 mg for just 4 days, and I feel like that!!
I like 15
So very nice good video 💜💚💙💛❤❤
Great video! How are you doing now?
