I saw my dad and my step mom this week and opened up and shared that I will be following a #hyperbolictaper to come off my medication and by doing so, I hope to avoid #ssriwithdrawal I explained that I believe what I went through in the past was withdrawal and not relapse. It was hard to get the courage to tell them because my father and a couple of my siblings are on these drugs as well. It was an emotional conversation, but it went well, and they support my decision. It feels so much better to have this out in the open rather than feeling like I need to hide this.

This is such a great episode from @Guy Swann

The talk about the flip flops, and then transitioning into talking about the food and seed oils -- so clearly put!

I hate the fact that my family is all super trusting of big pharma. Everyone else is on psychiatric meds and I'm the only one who has realized the reason I'm stuck on these meds is because of the horrible #ssriwithdrawal they cause. That the withdrawal is not relapse. I gained a lot of weight after I had to go back on to stabilize from the withdrawal. These drugs destroy my metabolism. I get looks ...like you know they are seeing the weight gain. I hate the way it feels, I know these meds are doing damage. And I want to just scream "it's the fucking medication and yes, I'm going to try and get off the meds again." I want to explain that this time I have the knowledge on how to do it in a way that should reduce the risk of withdrawal. But I am told I shouldn't come off the meds, that I need them. So I just don't talk about it with my family anymore. But it really does make me want to scream. #ventsession
