Thinking of you, sweet @Anastasia and hoping for a restoring weekend with not too much anxiety for you. I know you will always have anxiety about your boy (and others), but am hoping you can get some good rest, 'me' time and a bit of peace 💚

Thank you @NatureLover . It is something really important and good to have finally found. We've decided to change anti depressant, so I'm tapering off the current one over the coming week and I'm going alright with the anti anxiety change also.
I hope you are travelling along ok. At least we don't have much wet weather here in Melbourne yet, so hope you're able to go for your daily walks.
Its been lovely to hear from you. Enjoy your weekend. 💚💜

@WIP you sound so good, not anguished about tapering off your AD like before... I hope the changeover goes smoothly and that the new med is better.
I'm doing OK thanks. Have to be careful about the burnout coming back, but am getting a bit more active on the forums slowly. Yes, am walking 🙂
Take care 💛

I see on another thread that your boy isn't OK, @Anastasia ...am really sorry to hear. 😞 You said he's due to go back into hospital...that sounds good but hard. It must be so hard for you to work while your boy is suffering 😞 Am thinking of you and asking the universe to send you what you need to get through (and your boy too). 💚
