I journal, I pray, I meditate, and I maintain a mental health blog. All that's proven to be helpful. However, I've also relied on SSRIs, commonly known as antidepressant medication. For a long time, I was embarrassed by my need for medication to cope with my depression. However, without it, life can become overwhelming and difficult to bear

And I do advocate that taking your medication, if you need it
