Lexi: I’m really struggling guys. I don’t know what to do and where to go from here?

[Lexi]

I feel so depressed and tired and don’t know where to go from here. The medication withdrawal recovery is really hard and feels like I’m having more bad days than good. I can’t handle things on my own without someone by my side or talking me through it or just going to sleep. How do you guys do it outside of distractions? I still have a month to go till this finally goes away and don’t know how I’m gonna do this.

Things will get better with time and patience.

Yep, it's not a walk in the park! Recovery from ADs and tapering is not linear. There are good days and not-so-good days/weeks/months. This is referred to as the Windows and waves pattern of stabilization.
