Hi, you are doing so well to get to day 11.

I think the most important thing is to realise you just had a temporary lapse today but that doesn’t have to be a full on relapse if you don’t want it to be! You can just continue on taking no pills again after that momentary moment today. Sometimes we think when we’ve taken 2 we’ve failed so may as well keep taking them now but that doesn’t have to be the case.

I totally understand that feeling of overwhelm and anxiety where pills feel the only solution. I hope you have a good support network to help you in these moments. Your GP can help with anxiety issues too.

Best of luck with everything, we’re here to chat xx
