My pleasure man!

Fuck. Just watching this Shawn. It’s good your sharing. Staying on meds is safer and a better decision if the decision isn’t carefully thought out. It’s being brave I think. Really. I’d love to talk with you about this. Meds can be a life saver, but also.. well, is life worth it? It’s really tough. I love you.

It's always a constant nagging dilemma. For me (which is important to clarify) would someday like to have a system in place to function without them. Right now they help slow things down enough to practice different systems like meditation, CBT, setting boundaries etc. But I know at some point to feel fully like myself I'm going to have to let life operate at full speed. Love you too man and I hope you're doing well.

Have you tried medical marijuana? I think it would definitely be beneficial to get off the pills and weed might help you get the benefits of them without all the negatives

I haven't since Minnesota is pretty strict on their Medical Marijuana Laws

@@ShawnFrancis19 please ignore people pushing weed like it’s somekind of panacea. The THC can seriously aggravate anxiety and cause full blown psychosis and OCD.

@@wulfsorenson8859 Hey Wulf! Thanks for the warning. I've been researching it for a few years and it seems like the CBD (The non-psychoactive ingredient) that's been helpful. I have read a few reports on marijuana and how the THC induces psychosis and even schizophrenia in some people. It doesn't seem to cause it, but it exasperates what may be lying dormant. There are others who say that a sativa based strain can help reduce depressive symptoms. With anything, I think everyone has to be very cautious with what they put into their body as it can do more harm than good. I really do appreciate you reaching out!
