Story I'm not going to start meds because I'm scared, giving a go to CBT and IFS and Reddit

[przeciwwymiotne]

I feel more real and authentic without meds + I'm scared of the side effects.

Found an AMAZING therapist with whom we'be been doing CBT since May.

I'll try to do some self-therapy using IFS.

Subreddits around CPTSD, BPD help a ton and keep me focused on processing my pain.

I really hope it'll help

If meds aren't for you, then they're not for you. The way I decided if I needed them was doing a pros and cons list.

I'm glad to hear progress is happening with you and that you feel great about it so far! I'm also glad to hear your therapist is working out great for you so far.

I know what CPTSD (Complex post-traumatic stress disorder), BPD (Borderline personality disorder) and CBT (Cognitive behavioural therapy) means, but I'm not sure what IFS means. I tried looking it up but I'm not sure. What does IFS stand for, if I may ask?

Thank you
IFS stands for Internal Family Systems
