I'm listening to music as I have not listened in 97 days. I cannot overemphasis the joy this gives me--and the hope.

Day: 97
After 96 days (last night) I made the decision to stop medication. The lack of drive and concern for anyone or anything simply cannot be tolerated. I will, as always, watch very closely, especially since it it not recommended to stop but rather to scale down first. I will, as before, document my experience. My hope is at sometime, what I have experienced and journaled will be of help to someone. What do we have in this world if not each other.

It is too early to make any meaningful observations, but I can say I feel good, not in a medicated way, as has been the case, but good in an alert sort of way that is hard for me to put into words. Over the next forty-eight hours I will be watching how my body and mind reacts and if there is slippage back into the abyss, I will return to a lower dosage. As always, the kisses and hugs are greatly appreciated. :-)
Hey you,
feeling this strongly, you have undoubtedly done the right thing, and I know that you will look after yourself, observe, note, act if necessary. You are on my mind and in my heart. Let me know if you want some company.
Love you.
Come on over. And bring some coffee. :-)
I'm apprehensive
but I feel relieved.
Don't listen to me too much. What do I know? I know you'll keep a close eye on things. Be well, Tree.

And to know that you are listening to music once again is music to my ears. ENJOY. I'll look forward to seeing your progress over the next 96 days.
Good Luck my dearest friend.
Thoughts, Prayers, Tight Hugs, Kisses.
XOXOXOX

Erin, I know one thing--if what you are doing isn't working, do something else. I am apprehensive too because I have learned the power of chemistry and how difficult it is to deny one's internal wiring. I am watching myself very closely--one is not suppose to just stop cold turkey, but my gut tells me it is worth the risk. I am also openminded enough to go back to the meds if the wheels come off. Thank you so much for checking in on me. Means a lot knowing that although I have not been checking in on you (or anyone else for that matter) that you have still been checking on me. And that feels very, very nice. Thanks Erin.
Good good. Already...you sound as though you are coming back to yourself. It might be the wrong thing to say and I'm not saying the meds aren't valuable, but Tree, you have been missing for the last few months. You have been absent yourself. Certainly if needed, do, DO rely on the meds, or perhaps there are effective meds that don't remove yourself. But I have missed you. Your passion. Your wellness paramount, of course, but I have missed your passion.
(I'm pretty much gone from blogging but I will always come to read you and to leave notes.)
