I'm wondering how pervasive being on anti depressants really is.
Lately it seems like all of my ambitious friends are cracking up and resorting to meds, myself included.
Am I just weak, or is a successful path littered with depression and anxiety?
I often feel overwhelmed and panicky about my grades, about alienating my potential references, about not getting in.
And if I do get in, then I still won't have a life.
I'm really passionate about psychology, and believe this truly is the career for me, but sometimes I feel like I'll never just have time to relax, lie in bed and stare at the ceiling all day (...meds haven't kicked in yet).
Thoughts? Reactions?
