I've learned so much about psych med withdrawal from you and had never heard about the windows and waves thing. COVID sounds like an absolute nightmare, but yay I guess because you got a long window?

God, I really, really wonder what my life would have been like if I'd known to taper. I'm glad to year you're still going -- it's got to be tough to keep on when the window closes.

Oof – yeah, the "what ifs" can be just as brutal as the physical symptoms. I'm just thankful I connected with the online withdrawal community when I did. I think the very worst of it is behind me now, and I have the support I need to finish getting off the remaining two meds.

And thanks so much for this comment. Telling my story here and raising awareness is a big part of the healing I'm trying to do, but if I'm also helping others avoid harm or make sense of their journey after that fact, that's incredibly meaningful for me 💜

Truly, it's been so meaningful to have exposure to this community and to learn more about my own life, even if it's way after the fact. Thank you again <3

Honestly, thank YOU... because I still have a long road ahead of me, and it means so much that to know folks are reading/listening 💜
