Blue bicycle I'll answer a few of those questions others I don't know the answer to. I'll answer it as in the last time I re-started meds. why did you go on meds in the first place and why have you continued taking them? It was that or the hospital and I stay on them to avoid the hospital. It avoids fighting at home too. why do you want to go off them now? I currently have no ill effects. I don't want to develop any and I don't want to rely on anything. Especially that I can't pay for out of pocket.

You withold information from your providers and have difficulty speaking at times. That might be a roadblock to effectively partnering on a strategy to reduce your meds. I try really hard not to with hold information but T won't read my letters. So it's incredibly hard for me to share my most ****ed up ness. I don't know my emotional patterns and charting often leads me to look like I'm doing better than I am.
I know. You do try really hard. I wish she would meet you in a way that works for you and build from there.

Learning our emotional patterns takes time, the ability to have insight in the moment and the ability to reflect. You have to be able to be triggered in the moment and then figure out which past experiences it is related to. It is doable, but its like a walking through maze at times. Your therapist should be able to help as this can be a difficult process. You'd need to be able to share the stuff in your letters openly though for someone to help you analyze properly.
