Motto: Sharing tea with a fascinating stranger is one of life's true delights.
As only my closer friends know on here, I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. The date I was diagnosed December 25th, 2010. I was 12. 4 years ago today, I was prescribed my very first anti-depressant. 4 years ago today, I had the worst breakdown in my entire life.
Progressivly, my medication went up in mg. i was at 450 at one point. It took months for the mg to go down. It wasn't until April of 2012 that it started decreasing. I got down to 50mg on July 18, 2016.
4 years ago today, my entire life changed around. Earlier today, I went to the doctors. and they told me I no longer need to take medication everyday. They told me that they would lower my mg to 20, and to only take them when I need them.
I know this sounds kind of dumb, and I'm sure most of you don't really care. I just thought I'd share my personal accomplishment with some of my closest friends.
Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays!

Glad to hear you were able to overcome such a terrible diagnosis. Always good to hear people overcome anxiety issues.
