I am glad you are mostly doing Ok with your depression and anxiety. I have been on medication for both for 27 years and expect to be on it for the rest of my life. Every time I forget to take my meds I can tell because days later I get really bad. It is a good reminder to me why I need to stay on the medicine. I also have times when I do not do as well. I find that getting tired from trying to do too much can make me worse. Also I find that ingesting anything with stimulants makes me worse. Of course no wants a relapse so I try to do what I need to do to be able to avoid the depression and anxiety. We are all on this journey through life together.

@johnhans @guener Thank you for sharing your medication habits, and your thoughts on them. I know it helped me to understand things. In the past when I was on an SSRI for depression, it was easy to tell when I forgot to take them! Now I am on other meds and again I can tell if I forget. You're both right, medications can be game-changers and make a difference in the quality of our lives.
