I didn't mean to imply that taking medication means you lose, or that they aren't helpful, or that they are some form of escapism. Of course, there are people that use meds to be escapists, kind of like people use spring break to be escapists, but there are people that should use them and people that need them. They are helpful if you have anxieties or depressing feelings that you can't get away from, or that you can't figure out the root of. My point was that I don't fit the bill for that. I don't need those things, even if I struggle with depressing feelings for two to three months, because I know I can get out of it. I can go "THIS is what's making me sad, THIS is what is stressing me out." And I continue to struggle through it and eventually it's over. And it is over. I feel fine now. School is done with and I feel pretty great. I've started feeling human again. I've come to terms with what was killing me, and I finished all the school work that was making it worse.
My statement about "losing" was PURELY for me, and other people should not apply it to themselves. They should thing about how they use medications and drugs-- whether it's healthy or abusive. I can pretty positively say that you are an example of healthy useage-- you've gotten so much better in the last couple years, especially more recently! Just keep pushing yourself to conquer fears little by little, you know? The plan you described sounds perfectly fine. :)
