last night I found myself (getting angry) at an event on tv ... and I said out load in front of my family ... "well I guess I need another pill" ... ( I did not take one ) ...

but I shocked myself ... I have willingly traded ( calm - emotionless life ) for the normal human responses .... I realized my humanity , my very essence , is now a dumb downed shell of my previous life ...

so sad ... even sadder I plan on staying this way ... Love ... Tigger .

I've been stable for quite a while and I still have my ups and downs. One of my favorite authors, SARK, called it "the marvelous messy middle." We can still feel things, but not to the point of excess.

Be well, Tigger.

Lately I've come to think I'm overmedicated. Stable mood great, lack of energy and motivation not so much. I've been experiementing with the APs to see if I can get along without them. So far so good, I suppose I'm a little hypomanic but then I always am at this time of year. I like having some get-up-and-go for a change! Not that I really have anyplace to go to since I'm on disability and I own half a car with my SIL who uses it for work most of the time, but it's nice to feel like going. I do go to church regularly and meet with my widow ladies after Mass. I can't go tomorrow though, even though it's Palm Sunday---we're down to one car right now and both boys need to use it for work.

I feel pretty much nothing. Slight emotions.

I want more medication, but at the same time I want OFF all medications. I feel like the medications make me stupid. But also, I feel like if I already feel stupid why not add another medication (one for anxiety maybe or another mood stabilizer) so I can feel stupid BUT less miserable

Really? I’m taking obscene dosages of antipsychotics but I’m still doing my superiority dance. I still have an active mind.

The only active damage that I have is a loss of memories. I don’t recall any meds that made me feel stupid, though.

I hope that you may find the ‘right’ meds that will allow you to be an active user of your brain.
