Trying Medicines

Getting the right medicines to help us can be difficult, but it can also be life altering. My parents have been trying to help me, but it was only in the last month that they succeeded. I want to say that Abilify barely made a difference but I cannot, as it would be a lie. It damn well changed everything. I feel like a new person. Using a scale from one to five, where five is the worst possible, my OCD has gone from a five to a two. I can think more clearly, and my thoughts are happier. I am calmer by a factor of a million. 


So for all you parents who feel guilty for putting your children on meds, maybe it’s time to feel guilty for NOT putting them on meds. I was suffering more than I can say. I am not cured, but I am so much better already there are no words. For the sake of your suffering children, I can only beg you to consider trying. It can take years and scores of medicines that fail first, but in the end it is worth it.
