Like I've told other here....just give it a slight adjustment in perception here. Consider your meds a "bandaid" ok...you put that bandaid on until you heal some situation for some time then you take it off and go alone again until that "wound" opens up again and you put the bandaid back on. So dont think you dont need meds or dont want to be on meds for life etc...you have to be...use them to allow yourself to heal in periods of extreme issues then dump them until such a time you need them again. This way of thinking adjusts a slight negative ideation of medications to a positive.
Or am I misreading you Drew?...perhaps its now time you want to "take off the bandaid" and cant or are finding it difficult?
