I have been talking to a lot of my co workers lately and some of them have opened up about being diagnosed with some kind of mental health condition and needing to take some kind of medication for it. Working in the mental health field I have always said we ourselves have some kind of mental health condition we deal with which leads us into the field in order to be able to successfully relate and help people the best way we can. I don’t know if I have any diagnosis on my end and have never had to take any medications for anything but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with those who do.
Some of them have talked about dealing with bipolar and depression and having to take some psychiatric medications for it and I think that’s pretty great. A lot of them have also talked about having their own therapist and it made me realize how everyone needs some form of help. A lot of us in life value our independence and even though that’s great, we can’t do everything alone. We all need some help and all need some type of support. I think that is the beauty of life and people coming together for a great cause.
Like some of my co workers and others changing lives, it’s great to also see that their lives are also being changed by somebody or something as simple as medications. A lot of things that small are not as valued but a lot of people need to take their medications to be able to function in life and be their best selves and I think that’s wonderful. Some people are not themselves day to day without taking a certain dosage of their medication and the shift in their behavior and their function ability is noticed by them and those close to them. We all need some form of help no matter what it is.
