i mean i see a therapist. i see a psychiatrist. i take most of meds everyday except 1 - which i take every once and awhile so i can be active in school and life and not be zombied out.

so because i dont take all my medicines i dont get to be heard?

i dont even talk about whats really bothering me that much anymore here because of that.

seems like a lot of people here are more interested in only meds and dont care much for psychosocial rehabilitation. which is what i not only try to get more of but i actually have stood up for people on here and in real life in the past for. everyone on here talks mostly about meds.

ive said this in the past but alot of you guys cant use just meds for everything and as the only way for healing for the rest of your life. as people with mental illness - if we can help it - we need to take steps beyond medicine and pharmaceuticals.
I'll listen to you whether you take meds or not. I just don't always know what to say. I agree with you too, meds aren't everything. For some people meds aren't the answer period. I don't talk about it much but sometimes I don't take my meds. I hate how they make me feel and sometimes I just get so fed up with it. It's awful. I'm sorry you're feeling like you can't share here. I've said this before and I'll say it again, I like your posts because they help me feel less isolated in what I'm going through. That matters to me and I care about you.
