I just took my night meds. I almost choked on them because I was so nervous/shaky when taking them because of my fear of them being poisoned

I probably shouldn't have taken them, now I'm gonna be up all night worrying that they're gonna kill me

I'm trying my best to stick with them even though I'm afraid of them, I haven't missed any doses of meds since Friday, I've taken my meds 3 times a day every day since then

I'm just gonna stay up tonight, I need to get on the treadmill early in the morning anyway

I'm starting to get really self conscious about my age. I don't know why. I'm 27,turn 28 in June. I just feel sad when I see people who are younger than me because so much of my life was wasted and I wish I could go back and fix it.

I feel like garbage - I definitely should not have taken the full dose of Klonopin today and I did. It's so addictive.

Does anyone know any ways of combatting anxiety that are not Klonopin? Ha.

Exercise, journaling. Playing an instrument, art, playing with a pet, listening to music. Those are the main things that help me and enable me to take the Klonopin for only emergencies without getting dependant and taking it every day

Thank you! I need to do those things instead of taking more Klonopin. I just really need to get off of it. I absolutely need to get off of it.

I used to be more dependent on it a long time ago (never addicted, but just used it more often than I should probably have, more reliant on that than coping skills) but over the years I developed a lot of self discipline and am strict with myself with it. Which is unusual because I have like no self-discipline in other areas in my life. Maybe because my mom was an alcoholic and my father was into drugs. I don't want to get addicted to substances like that so I stay away from them and have more motivation to do so which is why I'm super careful with it. I used to experiment with alcohol and getting high on some things a bit as a teenager but I stopped that after a scary experience. I know substance abuse problems run in families and I don't want to live like they did.

I know you're not using anything to get high, I just meant that's what keeps me motivated to not rely on it because I probably have a tendency towards substance abuse due to my genes and stupid things I've done in the past

I wonder if the gym downtown is open (YMCA). If it is I might see about getting a membership. I know there's treadmills in my apartment building but I also like the gyms cycling machines. And it would get me out of the house more

Nope it says they're temporarily closed. Oh well. I can stick with walking on the treadmill and outside for now and using my weights and resistance bands

I did love that gym though when I was taking college classes. Students got a free membership. I used to go pretty often, and I used to walk all around town all the time too, everyday. I was in much better shape then

I just ran on the treadmill. Feel so much better. I think it's gonna help me get off the Klonopin (exercise is).

I've been on them about the same amount. Well, a little longer. But yeah.

I am going to try to reduce my meds to the lowest possible amount.

And my pdoc says that antidepressants and antipsychotics "preserve" grey matter. I think that's wrong.

Also I feel like there's no other medical discipline other than psychiatry in which patients actively "refuse" treatment. Like what?

Do you think it's possible to lose weight with the changes I'm making while still staying on the abilify (that's the med that contributed to some of my weight gain), or am I wasting my time with something that won't work
