1) Take some nice deep breaths...

(This too shall pass. It can seem like it won't and things have irrevokably been altered. But I assure you that this too shall pass. And you will have forgotten all about it in 6 months or so if not before)

2) You don't *make* people feel anyway at all. Other people *respond* to you in a variety of ways... And other people do need to own their own responses as their own responses. That being said... Some responses are more or less inevitable, yes...

3) Remember that people are feeling a little frustrated because they care. Don't forget that. People are only frustrated because THEY CARE ABOUT YOU.

And what is frustrating...

Is seeing you get into such horrible places...
Where you are in a lot of distress...
Where you are thinking about doing things that are unhelpful (like harming yourself)

When before when you were taking your meds...

You didn't seem to get into these places anywhere near as much.

And I've said this already...

But I think it is important for people here to know a little about what is going on so they understand a little more about what this is about.

4) I know you don't intend for people to feel frustrated or upset with you.

And I know that you feel frustrated / upset when you find that people feel frustrated / upset

And... The trouble with this process...

Well... Some people refer to it as 'winding oneself up'. But I have found... That when people refer to it as that... Well... Grr... Then they are just helping with the winding up ;-)

How to get off?????

This too shall pass...

The medication will take some time before you experience the effects of it.

Might take a couple weeks.
I think it took a couple weeks last time.

If you take it how you are supposed to take it
(and don't miss dosages or take more than you are supposed to...)
Then I predict you will be ticking along just fine in a couple weeks and all this will be forgotten...

Shame this didn't happen BEFORE school started...

But if you get onto that now...

And you keep taking it...

This could be your best semester yet...
