He should not react like that. You definitely shouldn't have felt ashamed of having to be put back on medication but well done for coming off of them again! I wish I was able to ween myself off medication haha. <br /><br />Hopefully one day! You don't need to apologise for a long comment, I enjoy reading them :) <br /><br />Thank you so much! <br />xThe Birds and Butterflieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11529817013319438934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229983765034016466.post-63928474594719995862015-04-16T19:38:58.693+01:002015-04-16T19:38:58.693+01:00What a lovely post! I agree with everything you me...What a lovely post! I agree with everything you mentioned here. I too suffer with anxiety, have done for almost 4 years. I was luckily enough to be able to have the strength to fight and ween myself off my medication. I realise I was lucky because I know many people aren't or haven't managed to do that yet.. Unfortunately, due to becoming quite ill at the end of last year I had to request my doctor put me back on my medication after almost 9 months without. When asked how I felt, he looked at me with this "are you serious?" smug face. I felt so belittled, embarrassed and ashamed that I wasn't able to continue without the meds… I took them again for almost a week until I just felt "okay" enough to not take them again.. But it frustrates me that, even a doctor can look at you and make you feel like that.. <br /><br />I really hope one day mental illness will be recognises and those who suffer will get the acceptance they deserve. This really was a lovely post Jessica, thank you for sharing your story and huge apologises for such a long comment, ha! x<br /><br />cakecrumbs-and-pages.co.ukWho's That Girl?https://www.blogger.com/profile/09880527444025232520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229983765034016466.post-69706807085832719102015-04-06T19:29:27.179+01:002015-04-06T19:29:27.179+01:00I'm glad you're back to feeling okay now! ...I'm glad you're back to feeling okay now! <br />Yeah I find talking to people that go through the same is a bit easier.

I literally got really anxious when I went to work, and had anxiety attacks as well from mild to just ridiculous. I asked to go home and they let me, only because the person I asked was someone that experiences anxiety as well. She understood and she covered for me. I'm very thankful for that small thing in my life, even though at one point, I just felt completely trapped at a job I disliked so much.<br /><br />So tomorrow, I will do my best to stay positive and put on a happy face. faking it helps because it tricks my body into feeling upbeat.<br /><br />I also find it helps me when I talk to people who are going through the same thing because I can offer them support easier than I can offer them to myself.

Some...I will check out Mae's channel right now! Something that I do, if I feel a bit overwhelmed and need to calm down is, I stand on a tall basket and stick my head out of a small window, to just breathe in the fresh air and see the beautiful view of my garden. It really helps, I may stand there for 5 mins or 30 but it's a way to clear my head. Which is quite important.<br />Peace xo<br />(I would love it if you could check out this page http://waitwhatok.blogspot.co.uk/p/once-upon-time.html)Peace Firestonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05425946239091716505noreply@blogger.com
