I wasn’t comfortable with the providers in my area or the various other apps out there. When I found Brightside, it just felt right. I’m currently taking medication & going through therapy and that has saved my life. I’ve had depression and anxiety my whole life and it started to become unmanageable, and I had no will to fight it anymore. I lost so much weight and I would sleep for 15+ hours a day. My only activity was going to work. That was my life. My doctor put me on a combination of medication that really really works for me and I’m so grateful for that bc I know it can take years and lots of trial and error before you find the “one” or the “several” in my case :p first month was extremely difficult nonetheless. I don’t feel like I’m on drugs and my side effects are so minimal that I’m not sure I have any. I still have days and moments where I really struggle but I have my provider and my therapist at my finger tips and they both give me great support. I couldn’t recommend this site enough. You have made a world of difference in one person’s life already.
