Finally off Happy Pills !!!!!

abbecer

Evening all,

I'm so proud of ickle me and wanted to share my great news with you all. I am finally free of my anti depressants after 5 1/2 long years :j. I have suffered severe PND after both of my gorgeous boys and for a long time wanted to go to sleep and never wake up. It has been a very long difficult road but I have finally got there. I have been pill free for a month today and am feeling great. The tired fuzzy brain has lifted and I can think clearly again.

So I just wanted to let you know that you do get well and it is worth hanging on in there :rotfl:.

Love ya all

Thank you for sharing your happy news Rebecca.

I have been off my tablets now for about 18 months, and away from therapy for nearly a year.

In my experience, it is good to remember to be kind to yourelf - you have travelled a very long and difficult path to get where you are now. No doubt, you will have the odd bad day, everyone has bad days - you will not be a failure for having them - in fact the oppostite is true - you are a success because you are able to move on from them now.

Well done, and good luck,

Thanks so much for your lovely messages. Its quite scary really as you will know because I keep expecting to come to Earth with a bang as they say. I just need to tackle the weight that's crept on, as you are ALV. You are doing really well at Slimming World. That may be my next thing now I am not drowsy 24 hours a day and can contemplate exercise etc.

Well done!
Without the pills you will find you can now think more clearly and focus on being a special role model for your children.
ADs do so much damage and it is really good to see someone come off them.
Regarding weight just put your mind into gear and focus on being the healthy mum that has all the energy needed to support active kids. Kids need to play. They want to play with mum so make sure you are in shape for them.

:TWell done you Rebecca :T

Exercise will be a great natural way to lift your mood. I recently took up running. (I say running I mean plodding :rolleyes: ). It gives you a real boost to be out there getting fresh air in your lungs and making your heart beat faster.
