Feeling normal for the first time in a long time TW: thoughts of self harm/suicide

r/

I (23F) got a new doctor recently and decided to try another medication to help with my anxiety and depression, I’ve only been taking it for a week now maybe, but my head feels so clear. I haven’t had any self harming thoughts, or thoughts of feeling like I would be better off gone. I don’t have any anxious thoughts that burst into my head when I’m trying to relax. It’s honestly a little scary, I’m so used to feeling like my head is swarming with a million worries but now I feel ok. I feel a little happier. I’m a little bit nervous about how going out and talking to people will go, since I’ve been sick with a cold and haven’t left the house. I feel hopeful about how things are going to go. My mom used to worry so much about my health because of how often I worried, and how hard it was affecting my life. I’m just really happy I’m feeling alright and that I’m not causing her any worry.
