Dear Lexapro,
Over the years my own understanding of the use of medication in my own life has shifted– from something I’d never consider to a last-ditch effort to a valuable part of my emotional tool box.
Dear Lexapro,
Before I met you, I’d hear about you but didn’t believe in any way that we were a good fit. To be honest, I didn’t actually look into what we could do together because I was too caught up in being mean to myself.
Before you, I believed that the pain I felt every moment I was awake was caused by me not being a good enough human. Not loving doing my taxes. Not managing my bank account well enough. Not knowing what to say and who to be in every circumstance.
I thought that if I could fix myself, the pain would leave.
I had moments where it subsided, so that gave me hope.
Then it began to give me despair.
In other words, none of this has anything to do with you.
I had no idea who you truly were. But I was also so stuck in my own story about myself that I couldn’t ever give you a chance.
I don’t know that we’ll be together forever, but for what it’s worth I’m really grateful that we took a chance on each other.
You gave me a helping hand. You helped me see myself clearly because I got a break from the pain. And I got to take a look at what was causing it.
I could sleep, finally.
I could stand to be in crowded spaces.
I stopped imagining all the harm I would do to myself.
I began to soften toward myself. I began to seek more answers. I began to speak of things that I had tried to hide.
You allowed my brain to have access to my heart, and I’m forever grateful.
Your friend,
Steph
