Hey all. Some of you may remember me, I haven't been on here for a long time though.

I've been med-free for about two years now, aside from taking an occasional sleep aid. I'm also alcohol, weed and cigarette free for about a year. I'm doing weekly therapy processing trauma, and I'm proud to say that even though I still have episodes, the severity is nothing like it used to be and it's been manageable for me for the most part. I am still on disability though, which is absolutely necessary for me to take proper care of myself. Believe me, I still have really bad days and weeks.

Is anyone here med free or in recovery? If so, would you be willing to share your experience on and off meds, and why you choose to be med free?

It's my 10 year anniversary of my diagnosis, and life is the most manageable and in control that it ever has been for me. For those who have been dealing with it longer, if you had a period of remission, did your episodes come back in severity at a later time?

Thanks!
