Mental health issues have long been a hot topic as millions grapple with them everyday, and most have probably dabbled with different resources in the attempt to find relief. Besides counselling services in Hong Kong<\/a>, there are avenues for alternative healing<\/a> such as meditation<\/a> and sound healing<\/a>. Another common tool is medication. Its benefits and risks have been debated for decades, with individual experiences varying widely. While taking pills might not be for everyone, my personal journey with trying medication has been ever-changing and eye-opening.<\/p>\n

My journey facing mental health with medication<\/h2>\n

Mental health resources, where art thou?<\/h3>\n

Growing up in the 2000s and 2010s, topics like mental health and therapy weren\u2019t often breached, whether at home or school. I\u2019ve struggled with mental health issues my whole life, but spent the majority of my youth keeping them hidden, as I didn\u2019t have the tools nor the resources to deal with them properly. Although the landscape of mental health awareness in Hong Kong is vastly different nowadays, it took me leaving for university in the US for me to finally face my demons.<\/p>\n

My first year at NYU was exciting, but it was also marred with escalating depression and anxiety. By the end of the school year, my close friend managed to convince me to have a session at the university counselling centre. While I eventually managed to find some relief from sharing my struggles with a kind therapist, a whole life of masking and strategically hiding my feelings still kept me from fully opening up. That being said, the experience did make me realise I needed a change.<\/p>\n

I flew back to Hong Kong after I made the decision to take a leave of absence for a semester to focus on my mental health. Seeing a psychiatrist for the first time here was a far cry from what I\u2019d seen in the movies. There was no fancy chaise lounge for me to lay my head, no dim lighting to fuel a monologue about my troubles. It was just my doctor and I, sitting in adjacent plastic chairs under unflattering fluorescent lights. Despite everything, this meeting marked a new chapter in my life \u2013 one where I was willing to finally tackle what was going on in my head.<\/p>\n

Are you there, Paxil? It\u2019s me, Min Ji<\/h3>\n

Eventually, after a few sessions with a psychiatrist, I was put on track for therapy and medication. Although I was also incorrectly diagnosed with a disorder at the same time, my plan was tailored to deal with depression and anxiety \u2013 two things that were, by that point, fused into my very existence.<\/p>\n

I began taking the antidepressant Paxil, as well as an additional mood stabiliser. While taking medication isn\u2019t for everyone and certainly not a one-stop shop to fix all of your problems, my initial foray into these little pink pills made a big impact on my life. For the first time ever, I felt that my daily life wasn\u2019t dictated by my depression.<\/p>\n

Therapy at the time wasn\u2019t quite the right fit, but I was too timid to ask for a change (a bad choice in hindsight, really, because therapy should be working for you!), so my meds were doing most of the grunt work. Looking back, ideally medication and therapy should\u2019ve been working for me hand-in-hand. Over time I\u2019ve realised that while meds help with pulling me out of the weeds, I still need therapy to make continuous progress and healthily process my emotions.<\/p>\n

However, when I first returned to uni, whatever chemical impact the medication was having on me was definitely working. That first semester back, I got straight As in all my classes and I was leaving my apartment regularly to socialise. While it wasn\u2019t quite Sex in the City<\/em> but rather Socially Awkward in the City<\/em>, I thought things were going pretty well. However, I was soon given a smack in the face.<\/p>\n

Ain\u2019t no mountain high enough\u2026 to keep medication working<\/h3>\n

Before I knew it, I was beginning to plateau in my mental health progress and unfortunately, for the rest of my university career, that plateau turned into a steep drop. While still going to therapy (sporadically, based on when I could bring myself to leave the apartment), I started to have frequent depressive episodes. At that point, I\u2019d so surrendered to my poor mental health that I didn\u2019t have the will to seek changes to my medication and treatment plan, creating a futile, vicious cycle.<\/p>\n

Looking at the \u201cbig picture\u201d of life, I could probably view this period as just a momentary setback. But, the reality was I was struggling to live through each day during that time. And it wasn\u2019t until an earth-rocking event that I started taking agency in my well-being. I soon found a proper diagnosis that suddenly made my world make a little more sense. I began experimenting with medication with the help of a psychiatrist, and tried to build an effective mental health support network. But like everyone else in 2020, life hunkered down due to Covid, and things changed once again when I was back in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

Mental health is a rollin\u2019 stone<\/h3>\n

Fast-forward to 2023, I now have a trusted therapist, reliable psychiatrist, and a steady support system. Nevertheless, I continue to struggle with depression and anxiety, and I don\u2019t see a future where they\u2019ll ever be truly out of my life. But that\u2019s okay \u2013 I have tools that help keep me going and although I\u2019ll have more setbacks to come, I know I\u2019ll always have something (or someone) to turn to.<\/p>\n

Within just three years, I\u2019ve had many challenges and adjustments with medication. I\u2019ve bid farewell to Paxil and had a go at Abilify and Wellbutrin. I\u2019d thought my biggest struggles with meds had been behind me, but ended up diving headfirst into a depressive episode when I tried cutting out a pill. While I wouldn\u2019t wish these experiences on my worst enemy, they opened my eyes to the fact that medication is a vital part of my mental health journey.<\/p>\n

After getting a glimpse into what life might look like without proper medication, I\u2019d definitely say I made the right choice when I started taking antidepressants. On the other side, I have friends who\u2019ve decided to forego medication, and others that are trying to wean it off. At this point, I believe my meds are as important as therapy for my well-being. I\u2019m not ashamed to admit that I might be taking antidepressants well into my future. Mental health is an ever-evolving personal journey, and your resources should also be changing to fit your needs. Don\u2019t be afraid to ask for help and try whatever you need to improve your life!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
