dawnhopeful,

Sound like a plan. Good luck with it. I found being without meds a good thing but if I find myself struggling a bit too much I can see my doc who can prescribe something in the short term. So Don't feel bad if you do feel the need for something for depression and or anxiety along the way. It's the anti-psychotic meds we really don't need in my opinion as they do nothing for DID.

You might eat more to begin with, as meds do tend to suppress appetite, but a good diet plan and just being aware that that might be a problem can be very helpful. I'm not on meds now and I don't eat much; one main meal a day, lots of fruit and veg, and I drink lots of water (it's good for a clear skin and it flushes out your system).

I definitely feel more in control without meds, I feel stronger too and more able to come up with good coping tools and put them to good use.

You might feel bad from time to time and want to go back but keeping your plan in mind (write it down somewhere and read over from time to time) can help.

I don't know what to say about your husband being a psych-doc. It must make things quite difficult. The way I see it is that you're not only dealing with your own ideas and opinions about what is going on with you, but you are also having to deal with his ideas and opinions of the situation. I think I'm doing pretty good but I don't think I could deal with that. The only thing I have to offer here is that there should be some boundaries, rules about what should be discussed and what shouldn't. Perhaps you could both agree to not discuss what you are dealing with for a certain period of time, giving you a chance to put your plan into action and take control of the situation and your own life.

I don't know what your situation is and the above might be way off.
No offence intended. I hope you feel strong and in control of your life soon.
