Is it a bad idea to ask my psychiatrist to take me off my meds? Specifically the Thorazine? I'm really conflicted about it. I want to lose weight and it's hard with the thorazine and I sleep a lot/sedated a lot. I don't want to replace it with anything, just come off of it
Also my bf doesn't believe I have any mental health issues even though I do, and that meds aren't great but said he won't tell me what to do as far as whether to come off them or not __________________ R.I.P mom  8/6/55-1/15/16 “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” -St. Francis of Assisi

I would say don’t go off. Every time you try to go off meds you end up manic, or don’t sleep, or delusional. Spending lots of money, etc. I think your bf doesn’t know **** about mental health. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Yeah you’re probably right Like he’s very invalidating about it, he was on meds for a very short period of time like 10 years ago and thinks he knows everything about mental health etc and thinks he can judge everyone else’s mental health like he’s a professional Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk __________________ R.I.P mom 8/6/55-1/15/16 “All the darkness in the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” -St. Francis of Assisi

I gonna continuing to take my meds. It’s frustrating cause this is the one thing we can’t really talk about because he’s invalidating and thinks his experience is the only experience

Omg, a little while ago I was thinking that I need Botox and I didn't say it aloud or anything, and here in my Tapatalk ads there's a big commercial for Botox! Yes, I think the phone reads my mind. Too many coincidences.

Blue_Bird, good luck on the essay and no I don't think you should come off of your meds. You don't seem to do well without them. Not a criticism. I don't do well off mine either. HUGS Kit

Went to Walmart today. Got a case of cat food. And a pair of leggings and 2 T-shirt’s. I haven’t bought new clothes for myself in over two years (aside from undergarments) so it feels nice. I’m trying to rebuild my wardrobe since most of my clothes are so old and worn out. I will do it a little at a time every month. Plus I plan on going to Plato’s Closet which has gently used nice clothing you can buy, for very affordable prices. Apparently they get some really good stuff there. I don’t mind used clothes. As long as they’re in good condition. All of that stuffs in a lot better shape than my old clothes anyway.

I decided to hold off on the violin lessons. It’s too expensive for me right now. Like $120 for 3 lessons a month is a lot. For me anyway. It’s not realistically in the budget right now especially since I need new clothes, a haircut and to pay towards college. Once I get all those taken care of maybe I can consider it again. Oh also vet care for the kitties.

I’m okay. Not as tired but still getting lightheaded. See doctor on Tuesday. Been eating more iron rich foods like steak and beans. Having kangaroo loin for dinner later (it’s lean, high protein, and twice the iron as beef). Duck breast tomorrow. Goat curry on Monday. Long weekend this weekend. So mostly relaxing. Didn’t really do much yesterday. Today had chiropractor, Starbucks, did some grocery shopping. I went with my mom to her MRI. Then went to this non-alcoholic beverage store and bought some alcohol free gluten free beer. Then went to this bougie market and bought a bottle of wine (to make risotto). Now just watching tv with my mom. We were hungry while we were out and about so we picked up some chicken fingers and ate those when we got home lol. The liquor stores around here are having the union on strike so if I need wine I’m going to small market stores (I ain’t no scab). Maybe go see Barbie tomorrow. Might go to Costco on Monday if they’re open. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
