meds?

[Saldav]

Am I going to have to take meds for the rest of my life? Been suffering from anxiety/depression for 14 years now and been taking meds ever since.

Not necessarily, as we age and our life circumstances change, the need for meds may diminish .

I the other hand, if they help you in a day to day basis, then they are useful. If you have to stay on them then they serve a good purpose.

Thank you I've just been a little down.

No worries.

We all have our down days. You do well here when you help others. Be proud of that.

Cheers!

I've been on (and off) meds for anxiety/depression for over 20 years now. I don't really care if I have to take them for life.. Insulin injections are worse!

Me as well Gypsylee :) i'll take them till death do us part, if it's helping.

I'm with them ^

I will take meds for the rest of my life if that means I don't have to feel like I did before them.

Don't be down on yourself if you have to be one of those people. If it helps you, let it :)

It's just a pill as I see it and I'd by taking that little pill makes you feel a better you then so be it there is nothing wrong with that at all.
I think it's more the thought of you thinking what the pill is than taking a pill,the stigma etc
I was the same,I was like there is no way I am going on that as that's for crazy people and I am not one of them,yet I needed it at the time and if I did need it again I would not hesitate.its just like taking a vitamin or a pain killer
Please don't think about it to much,we are all strong people on here and we will get through this no matter what :)
Be kind to yourself x
