Being on anti-depressant medication is not what I signed up for. But assimilation to the status quo was easy. I was told I may always need them because of the PTSD disease I suffer. And for many years I accepted this fate. I lived life with subdued highs and lows in order to get through a normal day. Think about this for a second or two. Not experiencing the magnitude of one’s joy and happiness?
The day came when I realized I was ready to go off my anti-depressants. I recognized my meds only allowed a minimized range of living. I knew I wanted to live life with the epitome of highs and lows and nothing in between. I knew I reached a point where living on life’s terms came within the realm of true possibility for me.
I spent many years getting mental health care that is needed for victim to become survivor and ultimately become thriver. Psychiatric sessions that focused on the root cause of my disease, not the symptoms brought me this freedom.
I weaned myself off the drugs that assisted my every day. I no longer wanted them. I wanted more! I’m getting more and more every day. What a BLESSING!!!
HE IS FOREVER WITH ME
