Thanks for your message. I also think that doing without these meds is better if it's possible.

I function relatively OK ona day-to-day basis, but I seem to be stuck in my life. I need to move on to better things and I am stuck. I feel I need meds at this point because I have done everything else I could think of. At this point, I think the anxiety is my worse problem. Dysthymia is not too bad, I've learned to live with it a long time ago. But anxiety can bring back a major episode of depression, and it makes me so nervous at crucial times that nothing in my life seems to move forward. I screw up (pardon my French) way too often these days, I need to get back on track. I am hoping that the meds might help. Also, after major depression, I have some very negative thinking that stayed with me, which is resistant to CBT, even though I know it's unrealistic and irrational. Most issues have been resolved, but 2 remain. I am hoping that meds will help with that too.
