An Emerging Community
Yet you are here reading this, and you are part of a groundswell of global citizens who are recognizing the problem, educating themselves, connecting with and supporting others. A new community is emerging, of which you are part.
There are people who are quite sure that the meds are their problem, and who know what they want to do about tapering and about supporting their recovery. There are people who aren’t sure what to think yet, who are taking psych meds and feel confused about why they’re getting sicker and their lives are spiraling down. There are people who are just beginning to catch on and who are looking for mentors to give them courage to face the stages of chaotic renewal.
There is a synergy between experienced withdrawers and newbies. The encounter between the two groups creates a field where creativity can happen. New insights can emerge about the mechanisms of neurological change, about therapies to aid healing, about the political ramifications, and about projects to offer society alternatives to the use of psych meds.
The exchange of information, validation, and support benefits all parties and helps give strength to go forward.
