"After more than 12 years of benzo's and anti-depressants, I feel I have lost too much of the real me."

I understand this sentiment, and agree that it can occur. However, I would also take into consideration that 12 years is a long time. People can change quite a bit as the decades pass. People evolve. I don't think you would be the same "you" now as you were then, even were you not to have taken psychotropic medication. Even if you have lost elements of your temperament and personality, it may be that these things return relatively quickly with the passage of time. You are in a different place now than you were then. I know it is very tempting to compare now versus then, but perhaps it is a good time to look forward and allow yourself to discover and nurture a new "you" as you proceed.

In what ways are you different?
