Hello @A2Z

Lovely to hear from you.  Congrats on being med-free. Good Luck with travels.

@eudemonism and @Former-Member hope you are well.

@Adek I like my water and apple cider (got strange tastes lol) and grew up as a dutchie with almond slice both from real almonds and my nanna's cheap alternative made with semolina and almond essence.  These days we are so fortunate to have so many good foods available.  In her day making ends meet was more difficult and compromises in nutrition were frequent.

Btw I think it is a beaut idea to try and go off meds if you want, have guidance and have reduced all those stressors.  It is no surprise with all that going on that you were stressed through the roof. 

I also have simplified life so I can manage individual stressors and hope to reduce my meds again, but in the meantime am having priority on releasing my son and helping him gently transition into life in the best way possible without misunderstandings or unecessary or unpredictable stress. I need to be extra careful as we had a lot of death to deal with when he was very little, like living through wartime issues that had not been addressed in the past.  I would rather it was me on meds than him.
