New here...

I've been living with anxiety and depression since I can remember. Even as a young child, I showed signs of OCD. I've been off meds now since December 2016 and I wish I could say that I was doing better than I am. There are a lot of changes happening in my life: moving states, divorce, changing jobs, selling my house, etc. I am glad that my mother is able to stay with me and help me during this time, but I am ridiculously low and scared. I am trying to find the faith that I had when I was younger and praying that God will help me finally heal. The medications I took did virtually nothing to help me.

you are off meds and praying to God to do what? Did it ever occur to you that it was God who provided you the lifeboat(medications) you had been on and all you need to do was row to the shore (as in take full advantage and charge of your circumstance, using it?

please get back on your meds. Rather than quit, you.ought to have informed your doctor that it wasn't doing a good job and he would have help tweak your meds or find you knew and better ones that would work for you. It is never a good idea to quit your meds because you percieve it isn't working

I was on meds for 20+ years. I just got the courage to try to live without them. I guess I made this your business by trying to find support, but that worked as well as the meds.

PS My psychiatrist helped me wean. I didn't just quit the pills. She agreed that they weren't helping.

You know what, you are right. I should not have commented cause I have no clue what you are even asking for.

Just looking for a little support and to be of support for others. This is an ongoing challenge for so many people. Thanks for your response 😊
