Well, I've survived my first week off of the various antidepressants that I've taken over the past 15 years. And I can honestly say that I FEEL better than I have in 15 years. And that's not to say that the medication wasn't appropriately prescribed at a time in my life when pharmacology was a necessity.... but since finding my Bliss (my bike) and learning to ride a year ago, I can say I feel fantastic, confident and strong. There is nothing like being on Bliss, and having nothing but a beautiful piece of asphalt leading down the road to another adventure. Yes, grandchildren have contributed to a certain joy that only they hold the key to. And yes, having a career that's rewarding has contributed. Being at peace with my personal relationships contributes as well. But Bliss is what helped me walk away from taking medications to stay sane.
Any one else out there with similar experiences?? with love, Leanne
