Yes it’s been quite a long time, but I am feeling better as the months roll on. I am still on 40mg fluoxetine daily, and still have all the same symptoms as my previous posts, but they now only come in small waves, and I have continued to use CBT and mindfulness techniques to allow myself to accept these feelings and let them pass.
That being said, I have had moments where ‘IT’ has gotten the better of me, especially after a social night out with alcohol, or when I have been put in a stressful situation, or outside of my comfort zone, but I have come back out ok, and a little stronger each time.
My social anxiety has been so much better, and I have been able to do most things ‘normal’ people do.
I had a bit of a dark time when my partner broke up with me during last year, but with family and close friends I have been able to let that be and put myself back together.
It’s sad I never got the chance to pay her back for all the good things and dark times she helped me with, but we remain friends, and who knows, she may need MY help somewhere down the track.
I hope you all are doing ok, and just thought I would give you an update, as there is a light at the end of the tunnel, and this forum was a godsend when I started my meds many years ago. Take care guys.
Cheers Jase
