You do realize that thinking you can go off your meds and believing that you'll be fine when you do is a super-common part of the disorder. Right?
Please don't stop, Flutterby, please.
I feel the same way about not wanting to do my yoga and meditation. I don't even know why! Maybe I'm afraid that if I do, I won't be able to keep everything I'm afraid of locked inside. And that's what happened yesterday. I did my asanas and breathing, and almost immediately started bawling from the guilt of what I did in my most recent mania.
Let's do it together. I REALLY need someone to keep me honest with that. Want to sort of buddy up?
Maybe someone already asked you. Idk. I'm in my phone, which I'm discovering is not the best way to view these forums. Plus, I'm still new enough to be clueless when it comes to navigating around here.
Let me know.
