Anxiety wean update

I decided to come off anxiety medication a short while ago. Before I had meds for anxiety I don’t really remember what I was like as a person. Quite an unsettling thought really. What I gather from how I currently feel is that I think way too much, with the meds this was something that started to stop.

Now, I’m not saying it’s a bad thing to think, I have quite the opposite opinion. Overthinking however is not great and doesn’t really have a positive effect on your life.
The mind is weird and anxiety is weird. I know how my body reacts to anxiety and at the moment I cannot see a concern. I feel like I’ll have the right amount of rational anxiety when I finally expel this medication from my system.
But I’ll just have to wait and see.

I went along with this, until 9 months in, it was confirmed I had not shifted my CIN2. The conservative management is for a 2 year period so therefore on my last colposcopy, the nurse advised I get the treatment to remove the abnormal cells. I was more than happy with this as, not only does it give me peace of mind the cells cannot get any worse but I also felt if there was not an improvement by 9 months, this was not a good sign.  Fast forward to 27th May when my LLETZ procedure took place. The nurses were lovely, the procedure was horrendous, (I’m not going to sugar-coat it for you, it was awful), and I’m in recovery.  Last weekend, unlucky for me, I experienced a uncommon complication from the pro...
