hey. absolutely i understand about the venting. i understand about how annoying it can be to not be able to go out with your friends because of medication too. my friends used to get into x-boxathons. we would play till maybe 3 or 6am. but then with the medication... i would take it with me and i'd be curled up somewhere zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz from 11pm. i was lucky that they didn't drink socially, but it was still hard because i wanted to stay awake and play with them :-(

i find... i'm not on any medication now. been a couple years off it and i'm fairly stable. but... i still find it hard when my usual sleep pattern gets out of kilter. i went out with friends last night and didn't get to sleep until 6am. today was a complete write off because of it and i didn't get any work done. felt depressed and anxious and stuff too. i guess i have a fairly sensitive body. can't go out partying like i used to lol and i'm in my twenties too.

hang in there. it is great that you are stabilised on your meds. i understand it can be hard sometimes. take care.
