Hi guys, just wanted to update for anyone who might be reading this and hits home for them. I’ve been doing really well, and this weekend I begin tapering off my medication (under doctors super vision, as he felt I was ready) which I’m really excited about.. not that I disliked it, just happy to be taking that next step.

What I found to be the most beneficial was definitely the CBT, meditation and exercise, but also pushing myself out of my comfort zone.. finding old hobbies and ideas that got put to the back of the priority list because of life, and building myself again the way I want my life to be.

i also found the book The Power of Now to be quite helpful, there was a couple of a-ha moments I took from there.

i found listening to stories from people who had overcome it, and how they did to be motivating.. that there is people around us in our lives who understand and have moved on without seeing anxiety as a label to burden themselves.

so anyone who is struggling, there is a light at the end and keep taking time and being kind to yourself, you are so much more than anxiety it’s just a hurdle to understand and move across
