DB'ing is sooooo hard (part 5)

[2thepoint]

She's very determined to rebuild her life on her own terms (which I greatly admire) and that may be one of the last barriers she would let down, if we ever get to that point.

I like the fact that she is determined to get this right and corrected. Just hope for your sake that she doesn't end up taking forever to get to her final destination.

BTW, she has decided to stop her anti-anx meds. I think this is her way of taking more control of her life. Hope it works. She has been constantly ill, and I think it's more just the affects of the constant stress.

Stress is a killer! But, I would be concerned about the patient making the decision to stop taking the meds. There are adverse side effects for quitting cold turkey. Is she doing this under the guidance of her Dr.?

I wish my W would stop her meds as well. She has been on them for so long, it just seems like the ailment should have run its course. I think that sometimes a more natural approach to treating whatever the meds are supposed to treat can be just as beneficial and less toxic with fewer side effects.
