These are all very encouraging stories! Thank you all for sharing!
I have been off my anti-depressants and anti-anxiety meds for almost 5 months now and I'm still OK! My T and I agreed that she would kind of "watch out" for me if things didn't go "OK". It was MY choice to drop the meds, not my Dr's.
I've also, like many others, began opening up and sharing with my husband those times when I'm not OK or when my anxiety gets too much to handle. He has surprised me with his supportiveness and it's been great for our relationship. I was always afraid to admit when I needed extra support. I don't have to be afraid anymore.
T has been a "gentle persuader" pushing me to try new things. I've grown so much. Much more work to do, but I'm happy to do it.
