@dralexgeorge: Opening up on my medication journey with my own GP. A #PostYourPill special on the Stompcast. This episode is pretty unique, and as far as I am aware, hasn’t been done before. It isn’t often a GP and their patient reflect on their treatment so publicly. Ahead of #PostYourPill this week, myself and Dr Naomi Hill, my GP, have gone for a walk to reflect on this journey, and the lessons and advice that can be shared for our listeners. My hope is that this episode will help anyone on medication, as well as those thinking about going to their GP to discuss possible treatment. If you have a friend, family member or colleague this relates to, it’s for you too. I am so thankful to Dr Hill for joining me for this stomp. Going to the GP is often the first step in getting support for your mental health and I would encourage anyone struggling to do so. If you feel you can, don’t forget to #PostYourPill this Thursday 💙 *Everything discussed in this episode has been shared with my permission and was filmed in Dr Hill’s own time.* #mentalhealthmatters #postyourpill #mentalhealthtiktoks #gp #doctor

I’m worried about stopping them, I enjoy the ‘pings’ of happiness which I haven’t felt in a long time and also the numbness to anything negative.
