Sometimes no matter how well you're taking care of yourself the symptoms break through. It's really a daily battle but if you're really diligent with self care you may be able to tackle it. If worse comes to worst you could always check yourself into the hospital for a little while and get straightened out.
I would do all of that, but sadly I can't get in touch with my doctor and thus I've been off meds for about four months now. I don't have a therapist because I can't afford it but I'm still actively searching for support groups in my area.

I know what you mean. Thanks for the advice!
