pills to swallow (acceptance isn’t always a binary state)

Pill bottle artist book made in 2022

During the summer of 2022, I stopped taking my antidepressants for about three months. I had issues with my health insurance and I was unable to get refills for my prescriptions. Fortunately, in the fall my situation changed and I was able to get my medicine again. 

I responded to that experience of restarting my medication in pills to swallow. I recreated the labels for the pill bottles, but changed the warning labels to reflect on the experiences of starting my meds in 2017 and restarting them in 2022.
