I stopped taking most of my medications 2 weeks ago, but I can't tell anyone in real life. My mother, who I generally tell EVERYTHING, would flip out and read me the riot act. I can't tell my friends because it would get back to my mother. I can't tell my coworkers because they don't know my diagnosis, and also because if I did spill the beans, it would get back to my bosses (who DO know) that I'm not being compliant with my treatment... and I would be in danger of losing my career over it.
I'm going through mood changes (mostly for the better) and withdrawals and such, and I can't confide in ANYONE.
Well, that's not entirely true. My psychologist knows, and he's on board, but I only see him once a week, which isn't much help day-to-day.
I just don't know where to turn to get this off of my chest. I'm not used to keeping ANY secrets from people, so this secrecy is killing me. I don't have anyone to talk to, and that's really hard for me.
Perhaps I can find some virtual friends here to help me through... please?  |
Medicated I personally am not in favor of stopping meds, that is to say that
I wouldn't do it
myself. I would be climbing walls and driving people insane. BUT, I am NOT judging you, mmkay. So, ya know, if you feel fine or better now that you've stopped taking them, kudos!
Good for you. I actually wish that I could do the same. I would love to go med-free and be okay. And, I think if your psychologist knows and is okay with it, then it's even better. I don't want anything to happen so that you lose your career and get constantly lectured by your mom--that would suck--so I hope this works out for the better for you. Good luck!!!
