Well friends I broke down and started back on lexapro today. I have been off for months and thought I could do it. I am one hot hot mess. My main symptom is worry. I worry so much it's driving my family insane. I don't want them to do anything because it scares me so darn bad. I have very adventurous 13 year old boys and I have done nothing but cry for 4 days straight because I'm scared to death they are going to get hurt. I also have to get my faith back in God to know that he is going to cradle my family. A very wise man ( my loving husband ) told me tonight that its God's will. I forget there is already a plan in place. I just have to have trust on him to know there is always someone protecting my family. I'm going to take my medicine and beat this horrible bug of anxiety. Thank you all who stands with me😉

I would not even word it as breaking down...

You are doing what you need to do right now to feel well, and be the woman, wife and mom that you want and need to be.

This does not need to be considered a step back...it is actually moving forward. It also is not necessarily permanent.

If in the future, you want to try to go without meds again...you will have gained knowledge and experience through this, and will have some previous background to draw from!

I am in support of you all the way, and admire your steps toward recovery!

Best wishes and keep posting as to how you are doing.

Thank y'all so much. And SC your right its not stepping back. I am moving forward from here on out. Just gotta get the medicine in my system and get past the pesky little side effects. I'm still on the journey to getting well I just took a different fork in the road.

Good job, I think you've made the right decision. I hope there's relief ahead for you very soon! :)

I'm so sorry you've had such a hard time :(  I'll be praying that the medicine will work and that you will be surrounded with peace.  The Lord who made us understands us wholly - body, mind, and spirit - and withholds neither His compassion nor His comforting, healing power from any aspect of our humanity.  Blessings to you!
