does anyone ever feel ashamed to be on mental health medication? i genuinely love my medication and i’m so grateful for it but i’ve gotten these moments (particularly when my dosages are bumped up or changed) where suddenly i feel some shame that my brain doesn’t do what it needs to do on its own. it doesn’t happen often and i’m so sure it’s because of some socialized stigma around mental illness but i just want to know that i’m not alone in getting that feeling sometimes i don’t actually think i have anything to be ashamed of, so it’s a really confusing feeling for me
