I just reread the response you gave me about requiring meds and knowing you'll be on them the rest of your life. I think that's why I'm hesitant right now. Because I feel like once I start, I will be too fearful to come off. I just said to my husband last night, "I'm only 35 years old and I feel like starting ADs now and FOREVER seems like so long." Then on the other hand, I'm 35 years old and I am not truly enjoying my life (a life that many people would wish they had...good husband, great friends, house, two healthy kids, etc.) Part of it is not so much pride like you said, it's that I feel sort of like I'm failing if I can't handle it myself through the diet, supplements, exercise, hypno, etc.. I keep thinking that I have had way worse physical symptoms (this is the best physically that I've felt in years..although not great...way better) so it seems illogical that now would be the time for me to start the meds. UGH...I am giving myself a stomach ache just thinking about it all.
