Ugh this happened to me when I first started to withdraw from my meds. I had to cut them off and now am happier than ever, med -free and living a long, long way away from the people who would prefer me to be a zombie because they dont like the authentic me. Like, I wanted to shave my head and apparently that choice of hair cut makes me crazy. The hair was donated to a wig charity - and when people shave their heads for cancer it is fine - but when i did it ITS BIPOLAR GO TO HOSPITAL YOU NUTCASE!

Cutting them off was not easy and even now they will contact me and use questions like "do you need anything" if I was to reply that I needed ANYTHING that would be a sign that I was not coping and should be in psychiatric care. So I dont fall for those types of traps anymore and am completely independant and functioning as a healthy adult should.
