my dad keeps joking that my therapist resigned because i threatened her awhile back. which i doubt is truthful. i think it has to do with pay. my dad said that too anyway at first. that it probably has to do with the clinic reducing her pay or asking her to take less than what she normally was. he said he thinks thats why the 3 psychiatrists left there too a couple of weeks ago.

It was a beautiful awakening for her. And for me, it was like watching a flower unfold. She still talks about what a shock it was to her system to be cut off from her constant hypomania/mania. She has grown into such a compassionate young woman. And I'll tell you, she wouldn't trade mere normalcy for anything now

I'm sick of the injections, so I've decided I'm not going to get it this week and I'm not going to go to the hospital when I get my recall letter either.

I'm not being forced to do things I don't want to do anymore.

some time around you are going to be forced to do something. i suggest taking the injections voluntarily to quiet your mind and then see if you can get off of them with some compliance started.

Even if I was getting it every time, I'd still be on it for ages. My nurse said they want me on the CTO for a long time.

I read its hard to get off - when they put you on one.

I'm sorry that you feel so restricted by your CTO.

If I'm understanding things correctly, I would advise you against not doing things you should otherwise surely you will be forcefully hospitalised & have virtually no scope for coming off the CTO by your request in the future.

The only way you can gain more say is through compliance however much that may suck. To put it another way, don't let them 'win'...

Newtus, lawscot, I really don't want my injection though and obviously I don't want to go to the hospital either.

I don't like the medication and I don't feel like myself when I'm taking it and I have other reasons because I still think it's poisoning me.

I'm not going to get it, the worse that can happen is 72 hours max in hospital.

Sorry I've been AWOL. I've been really busy the last few days; loads to do and little sleep so basically running on adrenaline. I will try to read back & catch up on what's been going on, but not tonight cos I'm so tired my eyes can barely focus on the words.

Hope you're all ok

but why do you keep wanting to goto the hospital everytime? when you get out they are just gonna want you on meds again.

Thanks for that. Yeah, I'm going through the horrid remorse. Was mean to my sister Kim who just brought me a whole bunch of art supplies. I feel so bad.

See when I'm hypo, I want to save the world, but then everything comes crashing in on me, and its he'll. Then I take my meds as prescribed get bored and then start decreasing some and increasing some. Right now at this moment I can see it. But when my mood changes my thoughts change and there starts the cycle again. But thank you. Has got me thinking...

I hope u guys don't go off your meds. I regret messing with mine every single time...

I have to be on them. This is a serious illness. I mean I was starting to think my family all hated me. I was thinking ppl from that organization were trying to destroy me. It's not true. They don't have that power. I need the meds. I need to be stable for my son and myself. It worries him and my family when I get so paranoid and irrational and don't feel safe. Oh man, I can see it clearly right now. I'm writing it out with my new cool pens and putting it on the fridge. I'm gonna do that now.

Please you guys don't mess around with your meds without your drs help.

We have a serious illness.
