I always thought that when i was getting mentally ill i only needed a chicken wing order and a beer, to this day i wish i would not have been put on the meds but do understand now that i needed them. I don't know if its because im addicted to the meds, but if so i need them to function every ay and i'm on 9 of them a day. i was in several car accidents and was assaulted several times by an ex boyfriend and other assaults when i was sick and roaming the streets as that was what i would do when i was sick, just walk and walk and walk.
