I disagree. I only want help in a "crisis". Other people see it as a crisis not me. I feel fine I take my medication BECAUSE one is an inject-able and I have a better baseline then when without the inject-able. so I'm more agreeable to take my medication. I go to therapy to advocate to the doctor what I need because she has notes on how I'm really doing. stuff that a 15 min appointment won't catch. I take my medication solely because the professionals that kinda forced in my life can hospitalize me if I do not take them. I've told therapists I don't want there help. Ive sat an hour without saying a word. The therapists response to that was you do want my help because you showed up and you constantly show up. She was perfectly fine with me not saying anything for several sessions. My current dr and therapist have me listed as high-risk. So I see my therapist 2x a week and my pdoc every 28 days and because I missed my injection date now I have a daily home nurse. Why did all this start because I told pcp I didn't need antidepressants. I was clearly manic. I left with a prescription and my husband left with the instructions if I do not take them, or am argumentative about taking them take me to the hospital. So you can get better without wanting it. It just takes more outside support. By the way this has all been done without court order. Now if I didn't mind the hospital maybe this wouldn't work.

My cognition comes and goes with my mood and stress level.

I think it's doable to learn to not use hurtful words when fighting.
