"STILL WAITING"
I have struggled with mental illness for the better half of my life. I avoided medication for years as I thought I was "normal." I hit a very low point at 17 and started Prozac, which worked for about 1 year. I've been on several different medications that ended up not working; this began my journey through treatment-resistant disorders. I've had to work against the expectation that the next medication or therapist may or may not work, but it is all part of the process.
My younger self (bottom) is eager to start medication; my present self (top) tries to warn me of the road ahead.
