## Caption

When I started taking medication for my mental health I wouldn’t have dreamt of taking them in a public setting like this, I still felt like it was something to hide. 

But my meds should be taken with breakfast, so why should I feel embarrassed to take them? I do not feel shame now, in the slightest. That shame prevents so many people from getting the help they need, or making them feel they need to conceal or hide it. I don’t want you to feel that way. I’m not pro-medication, I just don’t want stigma to be the reason you don’t get help. 

Today is #PostYourPill please do share (if you feel comfortable doing so) a picture of your medication, to take a stand against medication stigma.

Happy December everyone ❤️🎄
