Grateful for my doctors listening to me via /r/gratitude

I have been medicated for mental health issues for several years now. Recently, I started disliking how I felt. My depression and anxiety weren't effecting me the way they used to, I realized my meds were making me feel very "flat" emotionally. I talked to my doc about this and she agreed to start tapering my medication down. Now I'm on half the dose I was before and am starting to feel like myself again!

I'm grateful for the medicine, it saved my life when I was in a very bad place. I'm also grateful my doctor is helping me get off of it now that my mental health has improved. I'm grateful to my therapist for teaching me coping skills I can use while going through this process (antidepressant withdrawal is tough).

And I'm grateful to myself for making it and not quitting on improving my life.

To anyone struggling, it does get better. Keep trying, you're worth it.
