will I be on meds for ever? The rest of my life is scarey. Anything anyone thinks about that.

Forever is a long time. We all know that nothing is gonna last forever. I think it's good
to be aware and concerned but to be afraid isn't productive.
I know there are worse things than being on meds. That's why I use meds. You get to decide for yourself.

You may or may not be on meds forever. The future is unknown, the answer to that question is unknown....just know this: it's going to be OK...you'll make it through one way or the other. I'll bet you're a good person who always tries to do her best and that's great but don't forget to do something nice for yourself now and then!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
