To ladies who are having hard time with depression anxiety or withdrwals from coming off medicines. ( I've decide to leave a post after reading few post about ppl having hard time with it).I have PTSD,bipolar,anxiety,depression,ADD and borderline yes it feels like I have all the mental disorders in the world😑 I stopped taking everything except the one for my ptsd and bipolar and insomnia.Drs decided to continue cuz benefits of me taking them outweighs the risk. I was on highest dose with all my med (I have high metabolism and reg?dose didn't worked on me so coming off from it was really hard) the hardest one to stop was xanax (I've seen many women here coming off from klonopin which is also benzo)Don't want to bother you with all the withdrawal symptoms as you might also know but benzo withdrawals are the worst. At the beginning I even thought about giving up my unborn baby I was hallucinating plus was alone cuz my husband was deployed back than..what I did was I gave my mind up, when I felt I was going to have anxiety/panic attacks I'll tell myself ok bring it on let's see who wins I know it won't kill me (although it feels like it..) and also know that it goes away after time, instead of being so afraid and trying to avoid before having one I'll just give up and just use "what if" method my psychologist told me. I will just say what if? And think ahead and just be prepared it kinda made me feel like I had an answer and that gave me some relief.Some ppl say try to exercise go out or find a hobby well.. I couln't instead I just did whatever made me comfortable which was staying bed and some say that's not good but I say just do whatever makes you comfortable. Anyway sorry if I have bothered you ladies with my long story but Idk if what I said could be helpful but I just wanted to share and also to let you know that time is the medicine. One day you'll look back and see how strong and brave you are.
(Sorry I was all over the place 😅😣 but thanks for reading)
