I know they stop the tears, the voices, the irrational thoughts and obsessions but I am so sick of taking them.
Wish I could live without them. Hate the side effects Hate being a pill popper :-( |

Yeah I'm going to see my nurse in the morning to find out if I'm experiencing side effects . Have you talked your medical professional about reducing the dose or going off them? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

No I feel ungrateful as they've worked hard to sort meds out. I just think I'm never going to be ok. Don't even remember what it feels like to be normal xx

Yeah and CAT. I'm probably going to ring the mental health team in a bit regardless of my opinion of myself and stop avoiding. I'm just uber fed up :-(

Please do. I'm in crisis myself. Was diagnosed with lightheadedness and emotional stress last week. Looked it up: I'm in emotional shock. Going to see my nurse in the morning to see what is going on. Been taking the same drug for a decade. Pharmacist said don't adjust my dose without my nurse. Doctor gave me an EKG last week and checked my thyroid and my blood count and my cholesterol on Friday. Waiting for the results. Please trust your medical team. You are not alone . Do you have any major stressors right now, if I may ask? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yea I'm desperately trying to finish my level 2 course. I'm so close. 3 Assesments and hand in my assignments. I relapsed about a month and a half ago and got told I was suffering psychotic depression so had my meds changed. They're sort of working but the side effects are restlessness and insomnia and I hate it. Not been well physically either. I know it's likely to be linked to stress I just wish I could cope better. Having a day where I just don't accept my illnesses I think.
Anything caused your emotional shock? Xx |

Yes I was forced into an inheritance lawsuit by my mother and I'm trying to begin a TS with my partner, and my daughter had surgery all at the same time. I've had 3 rounds of DBT and have graduated and could teach it now. I highly recommend the DBT diary card app for iPhone . I am REALLY struggling with anger. I had to block my FOO, ex and partner on my iPhone and am thinking about sending my father to junk email. My partner's father wants me to go no contact with him until he starts seeing a therapist . This all happened last week. Do you do any kind of nutritional healing, aromatherapy or crystal healing to supplement your medication? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Oh no wonder you are struggling! Jeez Hun I'm sorry ((hugs))
I've dabbled with aromatherapy and crystal healing but I think I need to get more into it and get back on slimming world. I'm gluten intolerant so trying to cut out the gluten and it's harder than I imagined xx |

I hope things have settled lately. It seems you have been through a lot recently. All I can say is that I feel for you. Pills are indeed a constant discouraging reminder of all that's wrong with. It requires great humility to look on the bright side. Most of the time I just don't want to fight my inner instincts. I'm so sorry these things happen to others as well. Sometimes the world does seem dreary. But don't give up! I know that things eventually pass...

Ty they're getting worse and I'm detaching more. I'm about to write down my heart rate upon waking for the last two weeks. It's been high. I may post about it in the PTSD group. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
