I'm sorry you're feeling so out of sorts. I'm not sure, however, what "bad mistake" you're afraid of. The pdoc can't do anything to you since you're not a danger to yourself or others, so you've got nothing to lose by discussing a change with your doctor. Perhaps the pdoc can help you do something to help your feeling that you're not really living...a med change, or such. If it's any consolation I can relate to what you're feeling; I get that way from time to time & it can last a considerable period of time. I don't, however, pretend to know exactly what you're feeling, so all I can do is ask you to hang in there until you talk to your doctor again. Good luck.

Change is always a risk, as you know. You also know your actual situation is not bad, but not ideal either.
Sometimes we miss something trying to preserve nothing.

Hey hun
Stabile low sucks but instead of making a big change maybe make a tweet here and there ? I hate to see you slide into a horrible mess  Take good care of yourself with whatever you decide

Low stable sucks. When that happens I pray for hypomania, then I get that and it’s worse. Not sure what mistake you think you made. But I think it’s a good idea to adress this situation with your doc. There are probably some tweaks you can make in your Meds to help pull you out of this unholy funk.

Wiretwister just means maybe it’s a mistake to ask for a med tweak/change.
I know what you mean. Everyone else is happiest when I’m feeling so flat, because I’m not bothering anyone. But I’m also not participating in life. I hope you find that tweak for the right balance. |

Hi Tigger--
Yes, talking to your pdoc will help. Maybe you just need a tweak on your meds, or a different med. I felt that way on Depakote for a long time. I was switched to Latuda during my last IP and felt a lot better. I also live a mostly isolated life, but I've been stepping out into new things. Then I hide for a while to recover. |
