I see my pdoc on Tuesday.

Should I just wait and talk to him about it? I'd really like to do that.

It feels like my self-destructive brain WANTS these shots, because of all the bad side-effects. So, my pro-Berries side says maybe I should not get these shots.

And now that everyone--my treaters, mom, and best friend/sister-- want me to get these shots I am starting to get suspicious of them.
AND also--why can't they just accept me med-free?????? Makes me feel like some sort of freak that needs to be sedated cuz she is a danger to others.
What do you all think?
I am the aunt of two nephews who are rapid cycling bi polar. I am truly sorry for the pain you are feeling. It is very scary to look on. I can only imagine how difficult it is to experience. Our family has tried to be supportive of our nephews for more than 10 years now and I can only tell you that your mom and best friend /sister are seeing your life from a perspective of helping you have a life that you can live. Please try to trust them as your illness does make you suspicious. Let them help you to find a way to be OK again. A loving family is a wonderful blessing when the world is wierd. Let them help you.
Thanks for this!
Berries, Michah
