sid,
You did not fail at anything at all. I just thought you were offended by my remarks. Glad you aren't. What you said is so very true. Those hooked on this site will need to rethink their strategy a lot. No medication in the world will do it all. Getting out and living life to the fullest is the only thing to put depression, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, etc.. where it belongs. In hell! Human interaction is the key to life and living. Being in a shell is doing nothing but harm to individuals. Confidence and self-esteem are created and fed by others. It is life. It is like a giant snowball rolling down a hill. It just gets bigger and bigger, and goes faster and faster, the further along it goes. I have pulled myself out of many emotional situations, including depression and anxiety without much medication. I did it by getting out and interacting. Sometimes forcing myself. Making someone smile. Or trying anyway. But, I do say that medication is needed. Especially for a condition like mine. OCD. That is something that you can not improve from without at least some medication. But, I try to go with the least amount possible. Right now, it is a combination of 3 different things. I have just recently joined this site, and the main reason is this. I feel that through my experience with anxiety issues for as long as I can remember, I can help others out. It does me good to help someone else out, even if it just makes them think a little. I will not post a lot of notes. But I will send a lot more replies. Good luck with the Effexor.
Frankie.
