Anxiety

So ever since I’ve been trying to make friends I’ve had a bit of a anxiety disorder, nothing too severe. I just worried a lot and had a pretty pessimistic view on life. In elementary school it did affect me so much that I did need to medicate. I was prescribed Lexapro, a anti-depression, anti-anxiety medication.

While I took it, it worked great! I began branching out and stopped being so nervous.I began to be able to make friends. I (think) I developed a sense of humor and sarcasm. It was fantastic. One thing I didn’t like was the idea that I was reliant on a medication to make myself normal. (Although it is a mental thing I thought of it this way nevertheless)

Eventually I decided to wean myself off the drug, because I had learned precious social skills and that there isn’t always a need to worry. I haven’t taken this medication for years and think I have grown to not need it anymore. My anxiety I think is more normal I stress about things that matter but I don’t let things get to me too much.I never regretted and still don’t regret taking myself off this medication. (I think the lexapro might be still affecting me with a certain side effect).

Anyways, I hope all of you are having a fantastic halloween weekend with all your costumes and such. I’ve heard that gay halloween is very festive and interesting haha. My costume was a lumberjack, Get $leazy!! Happy Halloween! I’ll post more halloween stuff later!
