I've been feeling really guilty lately because I'm not contributing to the household. In December, my prescriber put my on Geodon instead of Abilify for some unknown reason. I was physically ill for five weeks, so she put me back on Abilify. The withdrawal was one of the worst experiences of my life and lasted about three weeks.

I started taking care of the apartment and doing normal things for about a week, then I came down with a nasty cold which had me laid up for a week. Then I caught a stomach bug as I was getting over the cold.

I'm sooooo tired of being physically ill. For eight weeks I was throwing up several times a day, then the cold, now a stomach bug. I can't do dishes, clean, etc., and I feel HORRIBLE about it. My boyfriend has been very understanding, but feeling like an invalid is getting ridiculous.

I don't know how to cope with the guilt. Can anyone give me some helpful advice?
