Not sure which part you are referring too.... kind of you to say. I'll be honest that I can't see it myself (not wishing to downplay it or be rude)... trying to do what I think is right whilst at the same time sabotaging... bit of a mess

That said, I agree with others that if you don't feel you need a certain medication, you should speak up. I know that can be hard, especially when you are feeling so bad, but in the end, no one wants to be on medicine they think they don't need.

I'm going to play it by ear. I'll express what I think clearly, outline what my actual experiences are... and just be honest. I don't believe on the basis of what I present it will warrant what the crisis team guy said... but I'm prepared to be open minded and listen to what the psychiatrist thinks.
Spoke to my wife about it tonight and she would rather I at least do that... she knows that I have a stubborn streak and that deep down I'm fiercely independent... that I don't like being told what to do... but that she's worried and that it took a lot to ask for help, so... I should try to accept it.
