it's not either or, I've never said it was.
I am also not stigmatizing the use of mental health drugs. I've been very clear on this topic over many months, when you need SSRIs you need them. for many they are a miracle. full stop.
and there is no escaping natural laws that our bodies and minds are subject to - and research is very clear cause impacts to our mental health - so if you think having jacked up sleep, nutrition, no exercise, no time in nature, fucked up relationships, shitty job and stress out your ass is no big deal well, okay. but your wrong.
btw - at least when i was going through my process it was a totality of the circumstances approach, not either or, but both and, what modalities could be used to help me get better. I see no reason why mental health shouldn't be the same.
and you know what? my transition + being mindful of all the natural laws I am subject to that impact my mental health are 100% why I'm thriving. not either or.
this isn't a productive conversation so I see no need to continue.
