hi folks,
thought i would update as been on here posting and asking for advice before,
i took my last tablet after swindeling down over the space of 1 month or so and so far everything has been ok apart from the occasional heart palp.
so would just like to say after a year or so of hard work and determination i have overcame this horrible anxiety attacks, even though i thought i wouldnt.
so positive thought and if i can do it so can use.
thats lovely to hear someones success story boxy91 - i'm currently 10-11 months on this medication and all i can say is that it's helped me massively, i will come off it eventually, but at this moment in time, i'm happy on it and want to enjoy this carefree, worry free, depression and anxiety free feeling for a good few months before i consider messing with my dosage. we have all been through so much along our each and every different journey and it's great to hear that you are doing so well and that you have overcome your anxiety and almost medication free, take care and we are all still here, good luck and most of all, well done you !!! :-)
yeah mate its good to hear from other people miles away like i am in aberdeen so its hard to speak to people about things like this as theres alot of stigma attached to it. but i just told them whats what its hard enough dealing with it without people judging.
i will be on still trying to help out where i can.
hope you are able to smash it when the time comes.
in this day and age you would expect people to accept and support the reality that mental health issues can effect 1 in 5 of us at some time in our lives and 1 of those people could actually be them, or a member of their family, or a close friend etc. just seems so old fashioned and dated that people are so quick to judge and stick a label on people when they are having difficulty in their life !! stupid really.........some people need to get with the programme and realise that it's not all plain sailing for some of us. gets me so annoyed. Both my parents and myself have had troubles with acute depression and my 20 year old nephew is currently in and out of rehab with the same and last year diagnosed with pschitzophrenia. if everyone had that same judgemental view, we'd all be doomed!! :-)
Anywayyyyy..........:-) enough ranting for one day!! glad to hear you'll still be on from time to time and keep smiling :-) the worlds a better place when we try and smile a little, take care :-)
