In reply to freaking out that i will never be normal, posted by bookgurl99 on May 12, 2003, at 22:09:05
i'm feeling much better. withdrawal gave me strange mood and cognition side effects. (feeling really tired, foggy brained, severely moody,etc.)
now that they are waning, i can say that though i am not _normal_ in the abercrombie & fitch sense, i feel more like "me." my interest in spirituality and natural healing has emerged, along with a larger tendency towards anxiety. but i am using my increased concentration to probe and face this anxiety, to truly change.
i may go back to meds, but re-visiting 'myself' off a medication that robbed me of certain aspects of my personality shows me what i like about myself. i see who i want to 'be' regardless of whether i'm on meds or not.
thanks so much for the support, everyone. it feels good to have people out there reading my messages and caring.
