And this isn't even going into the "wellness farms." You know, the work camps.

So much has been alarming enough under this regime. Personally, my life is also a dumpster fire that I spend every waking hour of my life trying to extinguish. Now I feel I have to prepare for the fact I may not survive.

Stopping their use can ruin decades of progress. Stopping without tapering under the guidance of professionals can cause exasperation of original symptoms like fatigue, hopelessness, and s*ici*e. Not only is that putting people's in danger, but it will also prevent the pursuit of political protest.

My story is not unique. In 2024, about 43% of U.S. adults were taking medication for mental health. Making these life-changing medications harder to access is a bigger health risk than the meds themselves.

I was finally able to keep a job I really enjoyed until I got injured. I improved my relationship with my family. I sustained a really wonderful relationship. I no longer felt constantly drained of energy. I was so motivated and driven to make up for all the time I had lost to my mental health.

SSRIs saved my life. Zoloft granted me the opportunity to be the person I always knew was trapped behind what felt like a brick wall. Wellbutrin and Cymbalta have helped me keep my head above water.
