I'm thinking of leaving treatment yet again. I'll talk to t about it. I'm freaked out that at anytime t or pdoc can hospitalize me, force medicine and things like that. I don't know what would happen if I tried to leave. Can they get a court order. As long as I don't get admitted for doing something desperate I should be able to be hospitalized. No meds mean I'll have to learn to deal. Anna will be hardest to deal with. I'm loosing insight I think. I know I'll go back in as little as a year. so I don't know if it is worth it. I'm in the psychosis clinic, I have a t that sees me 2x a week.

I think deep in your heart you know it isn't wise for you to go out of treatment. You've been dealing with psychosis and got into the psychosis clinic. Sounds like you're dealing with an ED and thoughts of self-harm. Really, you need to take care of yourself. It sounds like you are not in the best place to stop treatment, in my opinion.

I don’t believe going med free is wise. I don’t think it’s safe to be off meds when you are struggling with serious medical conditions.

When you were unmedicated you were a mess and saying you couldn’t get help. You desperately wanted in to this clinic. Now that you’re getting help you want out. You’re like the cat that wants out but on getting out wants back in. The thing is you might not get back into this clinic and if you do you might have different Ts and pdocs. You say unmediated is drifting, but it’s alway been a mess. Go back and read some of your unmedicated post. I think you are just anxious about the move. Hang in there it will work out.

I know I'm like a cat. I get scared and run whether to or from treatment. I'm getting my injection next week, my therapist wants to see my thoughts Monday, It makes me look a lot worse than I am. I hate that she caught on before I trust her. But I should trust her by now. I don't know. It's a scary week ahead and it's not like I can talk to her about her.

Can I just say no to seeing my thoughts? I spent our moving money on bacon, bread, milk and stuff like that. I know I shouldn't be mad at myself for not buying packing boxes but I am or getting my license but I am.

I agree with Nammu. Get a document in which you list the links to the threads/posts you made when you were unmedicated. When you wanted into treatment.

Next to each link to this forum, write a 2-3 sentence summary of what the post is about. This way, now and in the future, when you consider going off meds hoping to achieve something, some state you find desirable, you can find threads when, unmedicated, you were actually in the opposite state

This method may help you with get out of repeting this cycle. You will see patterns.
