At first, yes I was worried they'd become a crutch for me and I wouldn't want to go off them. Now I've found it's quite the opposite; my mind doesn't like the idea of relying on a pill to be "socially acceptable", so every few months or so I try to come off them.
I know it's never a good idea to tell someone with anxiety to "just don't worry about it" (coming from someone who has anxiety), so I say you can cross that bridge when you get to it. Best of luck! ♥️
When going into meds, you won't feel extremely different- people around you will notice first. For example, "Hey you've been a lot happier recently! It's nice!" And then you'll realize that you haven't been having as many thoughts. It's very gradual

I’ve yet to take my anxiety medication because I’m scared I’ll get addicted to them. Has anyone else struggled with this?
