I take psychiatric drugs

General
Is this relevant to National Coming Out Day? I dunno. I'm late anyway, so whatever.
I take psychiatric drugs for panic disorder. I have for the last eight years. They helped me change my life from the living hell it very, very abruptly became to something close to normal.
No, they don't make me "emotionally numb." No, they don't make it difficult for me to concentrate. No, I didn't just grab them for a "quick fix" because I was too afraid to deal with underlying issues.
SSRIs are not for everyone, and I do believe they are overprescribed. And like any drug, they have risks and benefits that must be weighed and understood. But they saved my life. If anyone, for some ungodly reason, has a problem with that, I respectfully ask you keep it to yourself.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled furry art. ^^

I'm glad things are working out better for you. <3
