my experience with mental illness
If you’ve been following my antidepressant journey over the course of 2019, you’ll know I began gradually lowering my daily dose of 150mg of Venlafaxine in February, the idea being to eventually come off it entirely. Due to my own past experience, friends’ recollections and the vast number of horror stories out there regarding coming off antidepressants too quickly, I decided to take a whole year coming off of mine.
I'm losing my way with the embroidery. There, I said it. I've still got all the same great ideas I've always had but i'm finding it hard to put them into action - I sit down to do the work and my mind draws a blank. Suddenly all these invisible and indefinable barriers go up. I need to try really hard to figure out what they are otherwise i'll never move forward.
