It's like my brain is telling me how terrible psychosis is/was rather than some of the neat things about the experience. It's an unbalanced perspective. I just don't want to bring this negativity to you guys. I'm starting to feel like an outsider here and I'm trying to figure out if it's time for me to move on with my life or just to have a more limited role in terms of some of the more science based stuff or recovery or whatever. Just not sure right now but I feel like a jerk for feeling this way but it's like there is a division between what I am now and what I was. Like take clozapine...when I was sick I was all no way I'm touching that stuff it's poison cause it is but now I'm like clozaril is useful in certain hard to treat cases as a last resort etc and I would personally consider it...it's just weird it's like now that the threat that I would actually have to take it is gone I think about it entirely differently and I don't think it's a fair perspective. It's easy enough to say take a med when you're not personally dealing with the side effects. So that's what's going on I just don't have a good solution it's like I just want to go back into the mainstream world and blend in and forget all the psychiatrists and meds etc. like it was a bad bad dream.

I understand as I felt the same way about clozapine (didn't really want to take it, but now I don't have to I understand its merits). I would really miss you if you went, but I realise that you have to do what's best for you

And I'm fine also.

If I was completely honest about myself I could most likely win a lot, but scholarship essays of those who win get published and it would look bad if an employer knew I was on the schizophrenic spectrum.

Have you tried low dose amitriptyline? I know you're bipolar and it's a tricyclic AD, but at doses of 10-30mg (way below the AD dose) it's good for sleep. That's what I take. It doesn't knock you out or give you a hangover effect the next day, but I definitely fall asleep quicker on it somehow.

I went to the park with Maxy today. I sat on a bench in the sunshine and just started sobbing. I don't feel especially sad, just fed up.
