Hi All,

Back to say hello and share stories after 2 years off the site...
just over 2 years ago I started taking lexapro and xanax to combat anxiety and depression. The meds worked really well after the ininital week of hell and I began a slow but steady road to recovery...
1 year ok , I met an amazning girlfriend (which while suffering axeity / depression never ever thought would happen) who I had been in a relantionship till 2 days ago... She broke up with me... Alot to do with my inability to let go & trust.
Even though the meds have helped me over the last 2 years I never took the next steps to getting off them and to resolve the root cause of my issues..
So, now that I am in a world of pain, I didn't realise heart break could be so so bad... I'm thinking now that I've a couple of months depression & recovery ahead so why bother take the lexapro , just bite the bullet and stop it now... Does anyone think this is a good idea..?
I am also going to try conselling, CBT which I haven't before... If anyone has any thoughts please fire them my way...
