Well it seems like you have 3 pros of taking meds and 4 cons when you're off meds, so logically you should take your meds. Does your gut agree with this though? I like to think that I make my decisions logically, but I usually go with my gut more. If your gut agrees, then you should start taking your meds again. If your gut doesn't agree, is there something holding you back? Maybe side effects etc? I realised that I didn't want to take my meds because I was punishing myself for my Nan's death. My CPN helped me reframe it - I have nothing to feel guilty for, and my Nan would be horrified if she knew what I was doing to myself because of her. That knowledge made me override my gut feeling of wanting to stop to punish myself, and start taking my meds again. Maybe there's something standing in your way too?

Something has to give. Today feels hopeless. I'm not even safe at my home.

Do you know why you want to stop seeing him? It sucks when Ts go away
I went to my exercise referral class today, which was hard work and exhausting, but I survived! Had to take a nap afterwards though, which my parents moaned about - "napping is bad for your sleep patterns", "how are you going to cope back in Uni?!" Ugh! I will be glad to be independent again, even if it's a struggle.
