#i do believe it's possible. i just havent landed on the right combo of help+effort yet

[august--and-everything-after]

Ok actual real goal of my forever is to build a life where I'm doing so many things daily (or regularly) that support my mental health that I no longer need antidepressants. I know they're essential to me for the time being cause the alternative is - not something I want to talk about - but I think with the right, highly focused combination of habits I can support myself drug-free.

#for example #apparently with a certain (duration/frequency/intensity) of exercise you can equal or better the impact of antidepressants #i need to follow up cause i only saw this in a video by a licensed psych doctor but id like my own look at the evidence #plus there are a ton of things you can do (or not do) that demonstrably support your mental health when done (or avoided) with regularity #ive always know meds are essentially the pilot light of my coping/recovery but i always struggle with the follow thru #the aim is to use the springboard of medication to help build a lifestyle that truly supports and nourishes me to the point that its #self-sustaining #i do believe it's possible. i just havent landed on the right combo of help+effort yet #august talking #mental health
