Hi new here I’m 33 and starting antidepressant’s tomorrow. I’m scared to take medication, but I’m so ready to be done with this depression because it’s ruining my life and an almost 2 year relationship. If anyone else here is scared please don’t be I’m so excited to start my life off happy like I deserve.

Diabetic people aren’t shamed for taking medication they need, should be the same for depression and anxiety! Thank you for being open and honest about this, mental health is health and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. I’ve had depression and severe anxiety my entire life and I do not think I would still be here if it wasn’t for the help my medication gives me.

Can we all just appreciate the amount of effort Payton puts into these videos

It's so admirable that you are destigmatizeing mental health and being so genuine about this topic! Thank you! 💗😘

Thank you so much for talking about this openly 🥺 i have extreme depression and anxiety since childhood and my so called friends now think that I am depressed because i wanted too, that’s why am isolating myself and am doing selfcare because consulting a specialist is really expensive where I live but this video will help me alot thank you 😊 love you ❤️

I relate so much on feeling better on medication. I recently started taking antidepressants and have noticed such a difference! I’m happy for us ♥️

Loved that podcast episode on taking medications! I recently found myself dealing with quite a bout of anxiety and waves of depression suddenly. I'm open to medication but currently doing "as needed" and therapy (I too get paranoia, especially now with flights, doctor's appointments, random things). I've been able to be myself again after 3-4 months of therapy work but boy, is it an everyday struggle. Appreciate you being so open about it!

Totally can relate! I'm 41 and been depressed and anxious most of my life. It's really been childhood abuse, malnutrition and the loss of my brother when I was 13, bullying in junior high and homelessness and multiple rapes in my young adult years. So My whole life has been pretty sad and full of trauma! I've tried to kill myself multiple times in my teens and had a eating disorder. I've been on multiple medications and hospitalized 4 times. I am on cymbalta for the second time and am really trying to get past the side effects! I take it during the day and I can still sleep pretty okay this time. I am feeling much better already! The side effects subsidied quickly this time! I look forward to months 2 and 3. Your mental health is everything! Never take it for granted and always do good for your own mind!! Keep it up, beautiful!! You deserve it!! On the positive mental health journey too and it's the best way to Live!! Muah, xoxo 😘 🔥

I’m so happy antidepressants are working for you! I started them for anxiety and depression a year ago and it’s completely changed my life around

I am an avid mental health awareness advocate and spoken word performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my KZfaq channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates.

It's really brave the way you explain this issue. I'm now 6 weeks on antidep and still adapting to it. Thanks a lot

Hot girls with ocd/taboo intrusive thoughts where you at? 💚

Beyond amazing how open you are about this, it’s seriously so rare and refreshing. I do have one q - my doctor was super weird abt mixing them with alc. How do you safely balance both?

LOVE YOU PAYTON

What do you take? How long to help and what side effects? That’s an antidepressant video. This is not that, despite the title

I am 33 years old and six months postpartum and Ive definitely been dealing dealing with some postpartum depression and major anxiety to the point that I am constantly worried about anything and everything under the sun and I am so irritable and reactive and on edge that it’s definitely affecting my relationship so tonight I actually started my medication. The first week I’m taking 25 mg and the second week I bump up to 50 mg and then I see my doctor in one month to see if that dosage is good for me but she knows I am wanting to start and hopefully stick with a very low dose.. I am just so ready to be happy again and to be able to make the people I love happy again.

Thank you for talking about this!! Have you experienced any side effects/how has adjusting been if you don’t mind me asking!

love that you are making this a normal discussion on social media :) I’m glad everything’s going well! I have anxiety too, and I can’t last 4 days without my meds😅no like seriously, I ran out and didn’t have them for four days ending up in withdrawal symptoms😋lmao

Hi Payton, thank you for your raw and honest opinion. I am on day 13 of Lexapro and it's been really tough with anxiety and depression rearing in the forefront. I'm hoping for better days ahead. ❤️🌄

Thanks for talking so openly about this! I went on meds a couple years ago and feel worlds better. Have you thought about whether your paranoia is maybe intrusive thoughts (which is a main symptom of OCD)?

Omg the editing is just so good! I love this Payton ! Your growing so much and Im so happy for u.

Thanks for the video. Which antidepressant would you say was the best ? Or as least side effects ? Thanks again

Thumbs up on this video! 👍🏻 More people need to talk about this subject. There is still a lot of misunderstandings/stigma about this.

What medication are you on? If you don’t mind me asking

I am obsessed with you!!!!

Thank you 🙏

what antidepressant are you on?

What medication are you using?

i start fluoxetine tomorrow :) i hope it can help me the way it’s helped so many others

I am also there with all of u❤,me too on wellbutrine for 1yr

Ty!

💙💙💙

I used to take Prozac but quit because I was stupid and ignorant. I want to get back on them but I’ve gotten so used to being depressed I’m scared of feeling normal again.

Which antidepressiva ???? Hair loss????

I've been depressed ever since the day my father passed away on October 21

Is it okay to take antidepressants during pregnancy

Can we talk about how perfect the intro song was…😍

I can't believe she's smiling and laughing. I am quite depressed and I haven't smiled and laughed in quite a while. I'm withdrawn.. I don't get it

Just say this is an advertisement for "Hers", or if you're being genuine - at least mention what medication you're on, otherwise your advice is useless. Saying "my chosen medication" doesn't make you seem more considerate, it makes you seem unnecessarily secretive and like you're hiding something for no reason.

Brits are quite funny with names - Berkshire is pronounced "Bark-shuh". kinda weird, but yeah.

Do you still wear your Oura ring ?

Yesterday I received prescription for Prozac intake for the next 7 months...

🫶🏼 what is the name of the retreat? plz :)

S2

Damn it

What a waste of time, I thought this was going to be a full detail video of being on antidepressants. You should look up how to be compensated for flight delays, if your flight is delayed up to 2 hours your ticked should be refunded up to 200%.

It's not about shame it's about the lack of informed consent. These drugs have terrible side effects that are swept under the tugy. Just look at the opioid epidemic

You are beautiful

Ты очень красивая, обнял

Tell us what medication you're on, otherwise your advice is useless. There are so many different kinds of antidepressants

Beautiful where the same age

It's okay to be depressed, it's a normal human emotion. Society is telling you something is wrong with you, when nothings is.

Bro get to the point yapper smh

Why do you say “hot girls take their meds”? That sounds so arrogant and self-promoting with all due respect? It would be nice if you just shared your videos without saying that?

So cringe

You didn’t even go over the medications…

Where is the hot girl?
