Recently I have come off my medication, not by choice. I currently have a doctors appointment scheduled for this week. However I’m really finding the side affects of being off my medication difficult. Ive been feeling so down and low, my anger has risen and just generally feeling like the worst Mum & wife! It’s the most horrible feeling. I’ve been fighting these anxiety demons for what feels like forever! Like any normal human being, I have good days and I have bad days. Today is a bad day. I cried so much. All I want is to be normal, I try so hard to hide these feelings of fear hidden so my daughters don’t see. I also feel like a burden some days to my husband. He is a loving man that accepts me for all my faults and flaws.

Hello there,
i can completely relate to what you’re going through. I am off anti depressants myself. The withdrawal symptoms are simply terrible and a nightmare to deal with. I am trying to rediscover my purpose in life and taking each day as it comes. Everyday, I tend to do atleast one thing that makes me happy. By doing so I can atleast stay from being anxious for atleast much of the day. But I do know one thing. Eventually things will get better for me as they will for you as well.
