The Pill I Didn’t Want to Need — and Why I Take It
This is your reminder that taking medication doesn’t make you weak, broken, or “less than.” Sometimes it just makes life livable. I’ve been on Zoloft (sertraline) for 17 years. Seventeen. And if I’m being honest, I wish I didn’t need to take something for the rest of my life just to function. I’

I am guilty of the talk. Talking to my friends, especially when it comes to the one person who attempts to hurt my family. She deserves forgiveness, just as much as anyone else. I am guilty of getting mad and staying mad. I am guilty of a grudge. I am guilty of doing wrong. I need to forgive myself
