I’ve had to go through so many med changes and hell to find a combo that works and have had to do so much therapy and work on myself and my mindset and coping skill stuff to get where I am. It’s so easy for it to get screwed up too. One night with not enough sleep and I’m dissociating and paranoid after a few days of not enough sleep or barely and I start to get manic and blow all my money on impulse purchases and put myself in very bad financial situations. It’s such a precarious balance and anything can tip it , but I do my best to manage it and I think I’ve come far from where I was 11 years ago

My bf always says stuff like that too. I’m not sure what’s that’s about tbh. Also one of his half brothers is experiencing some kind of psychosis clearly and he has no sympathy for him. I mean I get it …it’s hard to understand unless you’ve been through it but It’s like he doesn’t even believe in psychosis and that if you do have it you’re still accountable for your behavior even though you have no control.
