I saw my psychiatrist yesterday. I had a really good appointment, I am finally going to cease taking my antipsychotic. In the 10 or so years I've been seeing mental health services I never thought this day would come.
I'm so proud of how far I've come. It's kinda surreal.

Wow @The-red-centaur sounds like this is a really big step for you.
So glad that you're able to take this opportunity to step back for a second and recognise just how far you've come! I'm proud of you too, I'm sure it's been a whole lot of hard work to be where your are. Is there anything nice you can do for yourself today as a little form of celebration?

@Jynx I half the dose for 2 weeks starting this morning. Then I'm off it.
I'll have my support workers around. And the mental health team is always there if I need them.
