I think therapy can be incredibly effective and powerful, but I find that the combination of meds and therapy is the best way for me to manage anxiety, depression, etc. I've tried to discontinue meds as well without success. It doesn't mean something is wrong with you just because you need meds. Like another person on this thread said, use whatever tools you need and then live your life. The most important thing is not whether you're on meds or not but whether you're comfortable in your own skin and living the life you want.
