Complete disclosure: I wrote this when I was really angry. I was offended, and you guys–I am not easily offended. The words came straight from my heart though and I have a feeling that many other people have wanted to say them.

“Taking Medication For Depression and Anxiety is the Easy Way Out”
Those are actual words I have heard in reference to people taking medication to help treat anxiety or depression.
I was diagnosed with postpartum anxiety when my baby was nine months old. I started medication the very next week and felt WORLDS better within a week.
The journey to that point was tumultuous, to say the least.
To those saying medication is “the easy way out” here’s what I need to you to know.

As always, thanks for being here and thank you for reading my words.
