Hi,

I'm bandana121, been struggling with anxiety and depression for while but no longer want it to define me.

Just looking to share my thoughts from time to time.

Hi triceps,

I've been on medication for a while now and yes, I've had some counselling. It was good. Much better then the medication

I'm hoping to do some CBT in the new year.

Ideally I want to come off medication within the next 12 months.

And thank you for the warm welcome!

Hello bandana, I'm new here as well

If you don't mind me asking which medication did you try?

@tamarillo_rose It's nice to meet you.

I'm on Mirtazapine. I've been taking it for a few years now. I found it helps with sleeping.
