This is our way being these days after the med reduction, but anymore puts us over the crazy top.

I do sorta miss it- the energy and joy of living perpetually, but looking crazy with heart thumping anxiety isn't the way to live: gets quite embarassing at times.

Don't get me wrong...this is how it it needs to be- it's cheaper in the long run because it made us drink like a case of beer a day which is now down to a 6 pack or so.

So, I'm ready to accept this stabile and gray state of being as the new norm. I guess you would call this "sensible", lol.

I did try going off meds....but the memory of the years before meds finally floated up in mind from the hidden and dark recesses...all my exes saying I need anti-depressants.

I wonder how many people are over medicated then neccessary, making them loopier to only be prescribed more? Probably a lot more then we know or think.

Definitely is a struggle finding the balance and a balance you can stand to live with. Still trying to find it myself.
Glad you're feeling more balanced!

Finding stability can feel very "blah."
You are fortunate that you can see "stable" as also "sensible."

Thanks for sharing your insights.

Thank you and yes, I'm finding out that it's just a matter of acceptance of what options that I have left...not what I want it to be.

I'll take what I can get thank you.
