This past weekend I was really sick and could barely move and didn't take my Tegretol or Celexa for four days. I have only been taking these meds for a little over a month and have just started to feel a little more positive about my life and like things were going to be ok. Anyway, after not taking them for two days I was didn't feel anything different so I continued and on the fourth day I had a little bit of a mental relapse. I became very angry and was very paranoid about everyone. I all of a sudden started having a lot of negative thoughts again like before I was prescribed my meds. Well, I quickly got back on my meds and after only one day started feeling a little better and the negative thoughts are going away again.

Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I'm thankful that there are medications and therapy which can help my mind stay balanced and focused. This is the first Thanksgiving that I can remember where I'm not freaking out or doing something I shouldn't be.
