Coping with Medical Abuse and Overmedication

Hi there! I come from an abusive doctor-patient relationship who prescribed me 15-20 pills to take every day as a minor, most that I didn’t even need. I’m on less atm and working on getting less with my psych, but is there any way I can easier cope with this? I’ve been having a really hard time and im so emotional and depressed lately. Thank you so much for the help <3

I can’t believe this happened to you! I hope you find some peace. — try your best to keep your body healthy. changes in medication can make you feel like a walking garbage bag. drink water when possible and try to surround yourself with things you like— music, sounds, colors, anything that works for you.

Whenever I go through med changes I really rely on fidget/stim toys for mood regulation.
