I struggle now between when it's ok to be angry and stand up for myself, when to speak up in a meeting or social gathering, and pretty much just keeping to myself. I also think it's because I'm on antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds, and I get scared I'll become "numb," but at the time, it was better than not being here anymore. I'm also afraid if I go off, I'll dive right down. I still struggle very briefly from time to time, but I guess I can say the booze and drugs are still at bay.
