last night i started something that i want to continue, i stopped taking my meds.
my CPN doesnt care, my support worker doesnt care, so why the hell should i.
wife told me i should go to the doctors and explain to her why im stopping my meds, but i cant see the point, i am a invisible person, as far as the mental health system are concerned.
i will keep you updated to how i get on

Hello TRM.
I am sorry you are having such a hard time with your mental health system, but there are others that really care about your welfare at Psych central and at home as well, so maybe that can be enough for the moment to make you change your mind and take your medication. You cannot put all concentrative efforts into the system you should just concentrate on feeling better at this time. I hope things get better for you soon. Take care Soidhonia

Dec...

sometimes eating pills
give you the chills
but they are here to help you along your way
to regain strength to lead you less astray
the health care might suck
you feel oh so stuck
I don't blame you at all
makes it so hard to stand tall
if you had diabetes would you take your insulin?
yes, I know you would without a grin
your pills are only what you need to get some chemical balance in this sad mind of yours
so please let them run their course!
you're not less of a man with them in your flesh and blood
still the same Dec we all love- our budd!

You cant stop meds cold turkey ...you have to titrate down, you could have a seizure if you dont.

please talk to a doctor about quitting your meds. It can be very dangerous to go off cold turkey. If your doctor says its okay and won't be too dangerous by all means go ahead, but please talk to a medical proffesional about it so we know you are safe. Or (if you still refuse to talk to a doctor) at least try to reduce your dose or take them every other day. Also what meds are you quitting?(just curious)

Please try to stay safe

the shakes have stopped
my mood stable
light starting to eat away at darkness
i caused my own down fall
stopping meds was not a good idea
lost my cool
lost all hope
needed to find my way
so i backed down and took my meds
after one night i felt better
wont be tryin that again
i missed my friends here
thank you for your support

you strong yet sensitive guy
can you hear my sigh
scared me there you know
but you came back to show
that Dec is a man for his boots
winning ground like the tree's roots
slowly.. day by day... standing tall
to endure rough weather and bring smiles to us all

hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me
i am a fool, a morron for trying such an act

YOu didnt do anything to apologize for. I dont think that you are any of those things that you think you are. I think that many of us , I know i do go through feelings that no one cares, actually i do more than id like to admit even to myself. Ihope that I helped you in some small way. we all make mistakes. you picked yourself up dusted yourself off and got moving again , thats all that matters.
