*hugs you hard* I'm sure I can't tell you anything that you don't already know from the inside (and SSRIs fuck me up worse than the actual anxiety/depression symptoms left unmedicated, so I can't even offer suggestions there), but you're awesome, okay?

[allthelivesofme]

*hugs back* Thank you.

I hope things will be better now.

My feelings on medication are complicated by the horror story that nearly killed my sister, but that involved a long succession of doctors prescribing more and more drugs to "correct" the side effects of the previous drugs. I guess I think people shouldn't take more than two or three psychiatric-type drugs (as opposed to heart meds or something) at a time, just because the effects are generally not well studied once you get past two-drug interactions.

Yikes. :-( Glad your sister's okay!!

Im SO GLAD youre talking about. holding it in is the worst thing ever!!!! of course then theres me who probably gives too much information. but still, purge purge purge. get it out of your brain. share it. it helps. do it more! Im sorry Im a few days late reading this!!! I need to be better about lj.

[allthelivesofme]

Yeah, and the bad thing is I *know* holding it in doesn't help and in the long run doesn't work. Just a hard habit to break.

[finniscs]

BUT you CAN do it!

AND, if I had a nickel for every time I wish I lived there or you here, I'd be rich. :-)
