I've been on meds since 1997 and learned the hard way that I need them to live. I hate taking pills. I'd sooner eat worms. But after several years of CBT "AND" MEDS I can at least live a life I enjoy(most of the time)

I think when I finally realized that I was going to have occasional relapses and learned how to handle them was when I relaxed and accepted this thing called PTSD and depression.

I also stopped stressing so much when I knew I was not going to die from all this. It is amazing the affect of just knowing what is wrong has on you. Having a name or label attached to this disorder makes such a difference. To know why we do the things we do and why we feel the way we feel actually helps relieve the symptoms, at least for me.

Take them pills is my motto. It works and I for one am not going to mess with success!
