Yeah ... Just keep up eating well and all the other feel good things like exercising.... I hope you and your therapist can be a good match--are they someone new or you've been seeing them? Having someone help us identify our beliefs can help us change our thinking.... Thinking/beliefs leads to feelings and feelings lead to behaviors... the more we think a certain way the more we will keep feeling that way that generally follows so that's why it's so important to have positive affirmations like "I am okay alone, I know how to take care of myself" etc.... Daily relaxation practice on purpose where you can look forward to a set time is very helpful...it's helped me since I've been doing that since December in addition to practicing being really aware of what's around me like noticing pretty flowers outside that I might normally just walk right by or appreciating the smell of a nice drink or appreciating the warmth of an electric blanket etc.. I hope you find some comforting things that help you feel better and more relaxed.... F- Face

. I was taken off of it too fast, so I'm going back up to my regular dose so my seratpnin can stabilize....I'm titrating up slowly...these meds take 4-6 weeks to work again so I'm an anxious mess right now. My long term plan is to eventually be on a very low dose or nothing, but this will take time. Thx for asking
