I was just having similar thoughts. Maybe I'm having a 5% day today, too. Awoke this morning after a night of bad dreams that I know are fueled by taking Seroquel to sleep. If I don't take the Seroquel I won't sleep. I told myself that "one day" maybe I'll be able to stop taking medication. For a moment my mood lifted - then I thought, Yeah, right...who am I kidding? I'll very likely be stuck with meds and their side effects until the day I die. Most days I manage the thought pretty well. Some days I just feel defeated.
