You probably need them, or you must be doing some marvellous job managing your anxiety. Unfortunately, this might mean total isolation, for some. I'd say that's neither possible or preferred. You are then on your way to having the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. At any rate, it would mean being stable first (medicinally), to get your anxiety down, which takes years and one episode to have your efforts be in vain. Back to square one. Delusions and/or hallucinations underlying anxiety is another one: need to eliminate that first. Also a total catch-22 without meds. Not to mention childhood trauma.

I would just be thankful there now are pretty good meds to help manage your BP. And in the meantime try to minimise the use of meds (or supplements) only if you feel completely stable, without anxiety, in the most challenging of situations. Or if you retire or hit the jackpot.
