I got better

[social_anxiety]

Hi all!

A few months ago my psychiatrist and I decided to gradually remove my medication. It worked well. I quite didn't feel the negative effects. Yesterday was the last day I had to take the medicine due to anxiety and depression, and today I decided to make this post to thank SS for being there for me! SS helped me a lot to not feel alone during those dark times. My story is long (10+ years dealing with depression) and I won't bother you with it. Just wanna share that life can get better. It's not perfect, but now I see a future for myself. Maybe not a fully happy one, but at least with my mind in peace. I know life is hard and I know that I will probably have dificult times in the future. But I see myself more mentally strong to endure it.

I had been 5 months I last logged in on SS and I will be leaving this site for longer period now.

Love you all and wish the best luck !

I'm in a similar situation. 10+ years of depression and all kinds of medication, now im quitting some of them gradually, all of them eventually. I am what I am, and it is what it is. Acceptance and gratitude will get anyone out of the hole, I think. I'm happy to not see you again here, and will join you sometime soon.

"Lord, grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

Oh no. Just when you were doing so well. I was so happy to see your initial story.

If you want to talk just send me a chat (although I'm not sure if it works now).

Hello everyone!!

Life is definitely a roller coaster. Since I posted on Jun 24, I have had good times and bad times. In some months I was feeling good, like living the best time of my life. Others, I was feeling depressed and suicidal again.

My social anxiety has improved somewhat. I had to face many situations to improve my social skills. I'm not quite where I'd like to be yet. But I'm on my way.

I also got a girlfriend this year. She's amazing!

I'm afraid for the people around me. Family, friends, gf. Don't want them to get hurt if I CTB. I don't want to ctb. But who knows what the future holds?

Maybe that's what life is about. Just keep going. Why? I have no idea. But I'm on the way. Not giving up. Not for now, at least. Maybe one day. But not today.
