So, this begs the question of wtf was this whole thing of SI and these meds and all. I will of course talk to my psychiatrist, but it doesn't seem like I will fit within a clear cut diagnosis based on this, and not sure if meds could help, or if I even want to try anything after these reactions and not feeling bad without them at the moment. I have also been considering therapy, but cannot think of anything specific I really need to work on or talk about. So maybe I will just follow up with my psychiatrist this next time, then go to as needed appointments if I feel like I am off again (I always get depressed in winter, so things could change). This has been a very surreal, down the rabbit hole kind of experience for me. I think this post is mostly me just thinking to myself because I am awake at odd hours, but thanks for reading!
I'd follow up with the psychiatrist. How long have you not been taking your meds? How long has it been since you lat self-harmed or thought about it? If it hasn't been that long, you could still have some of the meds in your system and it may not be long enough to tell how you are doing off the meds. Just be careful with it.
