I hate having anxiety because the anti anxiety meds dull my creativity. But without, I can't function at all.
I'm easily overwhelmed, all my life seems to be chores and errands that never finish. I have no idea why it takes me a week to do what people manage in a day. I run out of time. When the day is over I have no time to "play". And then I don't even have much of a job.
I sometimes feel it is unfair that I was born with a deep wish of creating, and a mind that comes up with ideas all the time. It seems cruel. It would have been better if I hadn't been good at that. Because I cannot use my talents anyway.

I often wish I'd never gotten on meds, at least until I was old enough to make the choice for myself.
There are changes and side effects, and I've always figured it was hooey, but I'm looking at more natural treatments now. But if I go off the meds, the withdrawal can last years. I'm afraid of withdrawal.
