I dont think there is any hope of ever convincing him of my initiation that is to occur very soon...i need to cleanse my body of toxins in order for it to work! otherwise ill be waiting more years for this moment! and that cant happen...im just so tired of waiting for them to come...and finally i feel the moment that they will. It will happen though. ill make it happen.

maybe this is beyond me and they'll never come and initiate me...their merely implanting these feelings and thoughts into my head for fun...how do u know?...u dont...therefore u need evidence to convince yourself and others...
If I were you and I was serious about getting off meds, I'd investigate other ways of improving my mental health. I'd find at least one ally IRL who's willing to help me and go to bat for me. And I'd find a doctor who was willing to work with me. I'd acknowledge that I might never get off meds althogether, but that I want to try my best.

I doubt you'll convince your doctor that you'll be initiated soon. I imagine that talking about that with him will reinforce his view that you need medication. I guess time will tell about that.

How do you intend to cleanse your body of toxins? You need to take care of yourself physically. Eat right. Exercise. Keep a regular sleep schedule. Don't do anything dangerous or harmful, ok?

If you look at the booklet at the link I gave you last week, you'll see that the people it's wrriten for aren't saying they don't have mental health problems and therefore they don't need meds. They're saying, yes, they do have significant problems, but they'd like to try methods other than medication to deal with those problems. I think if you'd take that approach with your doctor you might have more luck. But trying to convince him of the truth of what he considers to be delusions probaby won't work.
