Please know that there is hope.


What are you referring to when you say "sleeping pills"?

It is true (as I'm sure you know) that being IP expedites medication review. If you do go IP, try to remain focused on that goal and not get attached to all the crappy part of being IP. I know that's very difficult, but you can do it. Once your sleep is improved, everything will be much more do-able for you.

btw, Shine on You Crazy Diamond is one of the most gorgeous songs ever created.

We still know very little about the brain. It truly is the last part of the human body fully mapped out. Psychiatric drugs are mostly a hit-or-miss adventure. Are we better off as a society with these medications? Do the positives outweigh the negatives? For me, that is a resounding "yes".
