I can't stand this rollercoaster of emotions. I was on medication, but worked very hard to get off. Now I feel everything. I am so full of emotions, good and bad. ouch. I want off this ride or stay at the top.

[Piraeus]

When you stopped taking meds, were you under the supervision of a doctor?
I stopped taking my Anti depression meds, and then asked to have them back.
Now that I have been on the meds for a couple of months, I am feeling better.

I know what it's like to be on that emotional roller coaster. I have paranoid schizophrenia, and the paranoia comes and goes. I'm on meds for it, and that helps a lot.I'm sorry you feel the way you do. All I can say is distractions, and more distractions.I got a Kindle with 50+ books on it. Most of them are free, but I did buy a few. It's just the plain Kindle. Not color or anything,but I love it. You can even use it to browse the web, in black and white only. It's a great distraction.

I hope you start feeling better soon.

Sincerely,

Piraeus

i understand the need to not to want to take meds. i resent them everyday. BUT i take them because i dont want to be on that rollercoaster and i know there is no way i will ever stay at the top. seeing posts like yours reminds me why i take my meds every day. i will never be stable without them. i hate them, but with them i can live a somewhat normal life. is this the case for you? do you need to see your pdoc and get back on meds? i hope you can find the peace you are looking for.

You all are so great to me. I have been off my meds for a couple of years and can manage as long as I work at it, like Piraeus said. Kaliope that is what I felt like. I resented taking that pill, but I take vitamins..so strange isn't it? So now I have learned a different approach. It's a lot harder, but it takes several things, but if I skip any of my routine activities I start to decline. Even my T said I was doing great with my method. The only med I wish I had was my ADD. I could get so much more done. I don't have a Pdoc anymore. I quit going because I lost my insurance and the regular doc was going to make me talk to their specialist, which meant their psych. I didn't want to tell my life story to another person. Way tooooo hard. Anyway, I'm ok right now. Thank you and big hugs.
Sadp8r I'm so sorry, hey, I will hold your hand on the way down. Ok?
