Psyche

Great plan of attack to do things for you. Will help your depression greatly.

As for the valium, I know it is the hardest medication to give up/causes the most withdrawal problems and may contribute to the anxiety but I can't be sure about that as I have been on it for quite some time and I don't get anxious with the use of it - it helps to relief the anxiety. Talk to the doctor about it if you are worried about it.

Go Psyche!!!

Hey Psyche

It's not just an interesting idea, it is a GREAT idea!! Healing ourselves involves being proactive about fulfilling our own needs and desires - and recovery involves stepping out, little step by step, beyond our comfort zone and allowing ourselves to benefit from what life has to offer. I really hope you do it.

Re the Valium business - I have not researched that particular medication - but I am sure that you could start off by looking on the net - maybe google 'risks of valium' and be conscious of the sources of the websites you are reading - many depression websites (including this one) are fronts for pharmaceutical companies - also - the producers of valium aren't obviously going to elaborate on the negative consequences of using that product - so look at a wide range of info and try to come to your own conclusions.

Well done for getting through the last week. The more proactive things you can do for yourself, the easier getting through the rest of the time will pass.

Sending you love, self-belief and empowerment
