Hey all. I’’m trying to help myself to recover without medication because I choose it to do it this way. I don’t say that others should do this, but this path could help too. I want to give you all a site to read a bit, it really helps me for the last few days . I hope some at least, check it and give it a try: gaia.com/lp/content/toxic-t... .

Hi deea21, It's an excellent site that I had listened to once before. It explains in detail how negative thoughts work it's way into our focus and that is all we can think about. I'm glad to see you are looking for help other then medication. We all need to approach anxiety in way that fits us individually. Wish you success in giving you some answers, some relief. xx

Have you taken medication before?..I never have and refuse to..I don't think I'm any different to others who have, maybe I'm better cause I don't experience the affects, addictions, changing meds, worse off, withdrawals and other stories I read on here with people & meds..but each to their own...your article is an interesting one..Im going to give it a go, as a learning process if anything..good luck to you and thanks for sharing..

Hi ellinaki . I took different types of pills since I was 15 . Most times I took them excessively when I was upset and end up in the Er. I have a prescription now for Prozac , but I hate being dependent on a pill. I hope it will help you too. Hugs

Is it too late to get off the meds..What will happen if you don't take them..Just wondering since you hate being dependent on them..

I haven’t took them for a long time , 2 Years a think. I was alright until I lost a pregnancy this year when was the bottom of my cup. I can manage without it, I just need to turn the page on this chapter. I think it’s never too late.

Thank you SO much! I really needed to hear that, cuz I feel so underappreciated sometimes! In addition, to anxiety, he has major trust issues that really push me away sometimes. Its super frustrating.

I understand what your boyfriend it’s going through. I know that can be overwhelming for you, because I’m in the same situation as your boyfriend and I do the same mistake and I overthink even that. But having an angel in his life, and trying to overcome the situation with your help, in time he will get better. Not everyone it’s so lucky to have someone next to him. Big hugs .

i took medication a couple years ago and stopped when i shouldnt have, it was the biggest mistake in my life. everyone is different but sometimes medicine is needed, not tying to poop on what youre doing just giving the other side of things :)

I’ve said that. We are all different and I really think the answer it’s inside us. We know ourselves better than anyone and we know if we need or not help. I took medication lots of years but in the end I found out that the only solution for my problems aren’t from outside , but the lock was from inside out. But like I said , we need to take our own decisions alone, because we know what’s the best for us. :)
