I hope they switch you to the new department very soon, and I hope your stress is greatly reduced. If not , do you take now, or have you considered taking an antipsychotic? What about a mood stabilizer?

I'm pretty stable myself these days, which is kind of why all this is happening. I'll do anything to protect that!
So, I'm stable and I'm standing up for myself. Very new and scary. So, I can relate. When will this all turn out to be a big mistake and just fall apart?? Especially standing up for myself, having some self-confidence. People do not like that!
And yes, I take an antipsychotic at night. It helps with the paranoia, but I can't take it during the day, antipsychotics knock me on my ***. The effects last into the day though. I'm on a very very good combination of meds right now.
