*Super important disclaimer: This post is not meant to influence your medication decisions one way or another. I just remember wishing I could find some first-person accounts of what life was like before and during medication. That's all this is. At all times, trust your doctor's expertise over mine.*
Medication is not a magical cure-all. But for me, it's been a science-backed help-a-lot.
I was afraid to take medication because of the potential side effects I read about online... until I realized that untreated anxiety had its OWN side effects, and those side effects sucked.
This episode shares some insight into my medication journey and opens the floor to questions and discussion!

S2. E19. How courage, connection, and practice help this dad chip away at social anxiety [Social Anxiety Besties Club interview: Chris]
Today you'll be hearing from Chris, a 29-year-old husband, dad, and software developer.
Chris shares how he has had social anxiety and OCD since high school, and how he pushes himself to incorporate mini-exposures and "experiments" into his busy day-to-day life as a dad.
He also candidly discusses how social anxiety impacts his parenting and what it was like to tell his wife about his anxiety and depression.
We touch on sweating as well, which I know many listeners will find reassuring (nope, it's super not just you).
