i had severe depression for last 4 years and been on tablets as the highest they give me. i fell pregnant recently and doc told me i would have to come off them i lost baby and took my self off because now or never. i now carry a squeezy ball when i get anxiety attacks and when i am down i make myself go out with the little boy i look after and mediate and have a relaxing bath it was hard at first still early days but been off fablets for 1 month and 2 weeks and not been down or cut myself so i am proud of myself.
