The one factor I knew about when this time got here was that this time I needed to be open and sincere about it. I’m going to attempt to come off my antidepressants. It’s been one thing I’ve mentioned with Mark for a couple of months, however I needed to plan and actually focus on it with my GP and await an “simpler” season so to talk. I say that with 1,000,000 issues happening in my thoughts proper now however I do know the sunshine and time with my kids are the tonic that I want. It’s been 18 months for me and whereas I’m properly conscious that I may change my thoughts at any time, I’m stuffed with hope. My GP has been superb. The Thoughts web site has been my go-to. And I’m simply going to present this my finest shot. I began my journey terrified to swallow a small white capsule. And now I’m a bit nervous to cease. However I’m robust. I could not at all times really feel it. However I’m. And I simply needed to say an enormous thanks for not solely permitting me to be myself and talk about these items. But additionally for accepting me. It’s meant quite a bit and you’ll by no means understand how a lot. 🤍

Thank you for sharing Charlotte. It’s such an important message I think.

I was diagnosed last year with ADHD at 47 years old so I understand how it feels to have to come to terms with things.
Take care xx
You will.overcome 😊😉🥰
Congrats for sharing this. I feel like it’s massive for your journey. I’m on the same meds as you and want to come off them too as I’m pregnant. But scares me with all the fears of post natal depression showing up again. Your doing a great job. Go with what feels right for you 😊
Be proud of yourself and everything you do. Sharing this takes so much courage and helps others as well. Good luck lovely. Xx

There is no shame in needing a little support at times, be it via medication or therapy etc. I am glad you are finding yourself in a stronger place that you are ready to take the steps to come off your medication. Little steps, steady progress…You’ve got this girl & we are all behind you!! ❤ much love, Nikki xx
You’ve got this girl and your always doing a great job. Your children are lovely and you have a great family network. Thank you for being so honest. We are here for you.😘xx
Well done and it's great to talk about it. You will get there, it is hard but you will do it.
I was on antidepressants of various sorts for 20+ years. About 9 years ago I decided to come of my meds, I gradually withdraw from them. It was hard but I did it.
I'm not saying I don't get low or anxious or have days I've been back to Dr to ask for them again.
I have them at home but didn't take them.
I look at life as if I'm having a bad day its only 24hrs and tommorrow will be different.
I try keep away from stresses or things that total stress me, or just do a small step at time.
If I feel that anxiety coming I do something that relaxs me.
Your a lovely lady and I wish you well.
Well done for sharing and opening up x
Thank you so much for opening up about mental health. I found diamond painting to be a great help to relax me and reduce anxiety. Your videos have inspired me to start a YouTube channel – something I have wanted to do for years but couldn’t find the confidence or the ‘right time’. But your honesty helped me to go for it. I would love for you to check it out if you ever had a spare minute and maybe diamond painting could be a lovely thing for you to try too xx sending love xx
Lots of love Taylor. You have got this ❤
I am in the exact situation you are. I have been in citalopram for 3 years and I've been reducing my dose over the last month. So far so good and I hope I can eventually be off it completely. But im not putting myself under pressure and you shouldn't either. Take it steady, be kind to yourself and remember you already are kick arse, because you've got help when needed x
I have been following you for over 3 1/2 years i look up to you as a momma
The fact you're able to tall about this is huge, well done you're doing amazingly xx
Dont be ashamed you meed it
Yes try a lower does but if you need to go ack up pleas.
Ive been there
