I got a doctors appointment on Wednesday and will be discussing anti anxiety/ depression medication.
It's a good idea to chat with the doctor. But there are lots of options that you can explore as well as medication. When we talk about getting a plan and working on our recovery, basically it's about learning what we can do to live life on life's terms comfortably without relying on alcohol or other substances or other compulsive behaviour for escape or instant gratification.
Why not consider all your options before going straight down the medication route?
