Hang in there and trust your doctor. I’ve come off my medication a few times, and each time I’ve had to admit that I’m better on it than off it, even if the side effects suck. I know this decision is not for everyone, but I feel like we would never tell a diabetic to stop their insulin, so why are we telling ourselves we can deal just fine without the antidepressants, etc? Even though this might be a mostly “invisible” illness, it should still be respected as an illness. Anyway, whatever decisions you make going forward, good luck and stay strong! You’ve got this far 🙂

You say it girl! I hope you’re alright, I know how hard mental health can be and this is the last comment you want on here. :S

BUT back to what this post is about. I have never known what it’s like to have withdrawal from medication, but I know how shit mental health is and how much it sucks and can take over you in no time.

You’re incredibly brave to come out about this, I don’t talk about my mental health on my blog because I worry what people may think… So I take my hat off to you!

I hope you’re feeling better a couple of days later and if not then I send you lots of hugs. You can do this, you can get through this. 🙂

In reply to Els and El. I am all for people getting their links out there, I share and promote other bloggers all the time but this is absolutely disgusting. I have just written a post about trauma, child abuse and mental health and you spam it with this nonsense? I hope you are ashamed of yourselves!

Oh sweetie what an amazing post I completely and utterly understand what you are going through. Please do not fell that you are not strong because you are having to go back on medication, there is no shame in this, it is what they are there for. My view after suffering mental illness for the last 20 years is if there is something that is going to help me, be it prescribed medication or something else then give it to me, I want to be able to live my life and if medication helps me do that, then I am happy. Sufferers of mental health issues put so much pressures on ourselves for not coping, but why, we have a medical condition. Would we say we are not strong if we had broke our leg and took pain medication. I am glad you have arranged an appointment at the doctors I think this is an amazingly sensible decision. Take care of yourself. Helen x

I’ve just stumbled across this post on twitter, and everything is so familiar although where you say you have out bursts anger/upset ect. I was the oppersit I held everything in until some days I’d be paralized from fear or something I can’t put my finger on. I never tried medication but over the last few months I looked into ‘the law of attraction’ this probably looks like some kind of crazy spam post now but you can find loads of information about it on pinterest. People use it for buisness gains and things like that but you can also use it as a positive mind set, It’s super hard some days too wake up and force yourself into a good mood but after a few weeks it sort of becomes natural. It’s hard to explain really, but it really helped me. I don’t know if it would be any help to you and although my social anxiety is still pretty bad it’s made me over all out look on life better.

I hope you find something that works for you, your not alone,
