I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I have, in all my wisdom, decided that I was feeling much better and I didn't need to take my meds anymore.
These decisions were soon followed by emergency visits to the pdoc to get back on meds.

Nowdays, I don't fight it anymore. I simply look back at 3 generations of family history and count the 5 suicides and my nephew who has Touretts, Bipolar I, ADD, and OCD; and my cousin who is schizophrenic. All of these suicides and illnesses are on my dad's side of the family.

I don't want to stop meds cuz I'm feeling better. I feel like ****ing ****. I want to stop meds cuz I think I might be faking it.
and me and my one uncle are the only ones with MI backgrounds--his very brief.
But I am hoping that if I can get the right meds in me, I won't have this voices in my head that say I am a faker and should suffer without meds.
