    I cannot thank you enough for making this video because no one talks about the side effects and the shame of stigma/weight gain and I was always an athlete. Scared to taper off but inspired🙏🏼🙏🏼

    Hi Amanda, always enjoy your chatty sit-down vids. 😍
    For my mental health, movement is key! I have to - and want to! - do a lot of endurance sports throughout the week…plus, I need my time in nature and a regular yoga practice. All of this, as well as regular meals (I tend to skip meals when I do not feel well) and a lot of sleep 😂 keeps me sane…

    I can relate to this 🙂 I'm 37, been on ventalxine for a few years after my mum's passing. Over time the side effects were getting quite bad, so 2 weeks ago I started to taper off, I'm sleeping so much better at night and my blood sugars are becoming more balanced, tinnitus has gone, no daily naps anymore (I had to nap most days!) Although the Brain Zaps have been bad some days, I key into any overstimulation so then I slow down / gentle yoga and meditation 🙏🏼 I have cried a few times and had some inner rage, also laughed, I guess getting used to feeling emotions again 🙈
    I've also managed to exercise a little bit more without the offset of a migraine, like you said the endurance with training was non existent with on my medication, but movement helps my mental health so it was a struggle before.
    Alcohol is a trigger, so I'm happy not drinking, eating regular and balance meals, lots of essential fats, regular bed time and moments of quiet time in the week, embrace the highs and lows of life ❤️

    Loved this Amanda. At 43 years old, I am starting to feel anxiety...well I think it's anxiety. Started with my fear of flying to nightly senses of doom. My thoughts go to catastrophe in every situation. Its bloody annoying and frustrating. Im going to try hypnotherapy for the flying and hope it helps with all my mini panic thoughts!

    I feel stressed knowing I'll have to invest so much energy taking care of myself, just the basics. How do I deal with working on my career, being productive, doing fun stuff with my bf, travelling...? How do I balance all of it? I feel so guilty I make my bf's life more difficult due to my anxiety and requiring so much time for working on myself JUST TO STAY NORMAL. I feel so discouraged thinking of the future. I am tired of working on myself.

    I am leaving a job that lead to burnout. On my way out I am realising that a lot of the most difficult moments were not the employer's doing. I am bad at asking for help, I get triggered by raised voices and high pressure situations and I have promised myself to take some time to heal before I look for another job. Thankfully, my partner was super supportive and said "Screw the money, you need help - just leave, work on yourself and you'll figure it out.

    My appetite was the same and it actually made me control my eating and not stress eat - and I still gained tons of weight on it. It has to do something with the metabolic system - maybe increase prolactin thus causing GH and testosterone drops in men? Not sure

      @@AmandaMuse good, I’m glad it’s nothing serious. I watched your vid about quitting antidepressants then I watched this one and seeing a diff hair color reminded me of some things (not your fault, just my own silly issues). I went through some crazy tragedies 2 years ago and I cut my hair off after growing it for 5 years. Some said it would be good for me per some Native American traditions, rebirth and removal of old baggage etc. I gave the hair to Wigs for Kids which did feel very good. But now I want it back haha, so I’ve been growing it again for a year now but it grows so slow, might be another year and a half before I can tie it back again. Cheers to self care and better health for us all 🌸

      @@Tata-ki1is you think I don't know that. I have been on and off them all my adult life. I suffered a loss of a close family member when I was in my teens and have never really recovered despite talking therapies and meds. Fundamentally one can never recover from a early childhood trauma and I have accepted that fact and continue with my life long meds to keep me functioning. Thing is my problem is there with or without meds and it's worse without meds in my experience. Everyone is different. People are very fortunate to live a life with no issues or trauma. Meds do work for the right people.ive tried the so called tools but ultimately meds work the best for me . you can't preach a one size fits all approach to anxiety and depression it's a very individual experience obviously. Maybe your approach might work for some but it never has for me.a solution is one that works and meds work for me nothing wrong with that. I think solutions depend very much on the fundamental reason for the anxiety and depression you have. If you are able to shake off meds maybe your problem isn't as devastating as some people's problems. You have to accept sometimes that the problems will never be fixed but you can find a way to live with your problem.
