Thea, don't wait for your meds to run out to find a therapist, ok? Best practice is therapy and meds together. Mindfulness is great, but it isn't a complete solution. Meds won't fix the root of the problem, but they will make it easier for you to cope until you are able to tackle those roots.

I didn't want to need meds either, but I started taking them to that I could function better in my work (I'm a therapist), and be able to find and keep a job, as well as deal with all the stuff going on in my life lately.
