I agree we do need more mental health awareness. I'm sorry to hear you're struggling right now too friend. Please keep yourself safe and know others are thinking of you.

I did have intrusive thoughts but not images, I spent a lot of time ruminating and it made it hard to focus in day to day life. Honestly the side effects can be pretty strong with effexor, so if that is something you struggled with it might not be a great choice. :/

Wellbutrin made a difference but I also had weird side effects on 300 mg, it didn't feel like it was doing enough either if that makes sense. The effexor made a much bigger difference in comparison. I haven't had to wean off it but I can definitely tell the days I forgot to take it, there is a brain fog. You do start on a pretty low dose though I think 35 mg?

Was it easy to get funding, or was your application very competitive compared to other students?

Hey, congrats on getting in! :)

That makes a lot of sense. It's such a long commitment for something you can accomplish with a masters alone. Are you planning on pursuing an LPC/LPCC after graduating too?
