i dont get it
It's been three years for me.... I've been through the cycle a couple of time where I'd reduce my doses or stop completely without consulting my dr. I alway end up feeling what my family likes to call "wiggy" and shames me back on the meds. It's been a solid 2 months now without making any changes but it's still a struggle.
What I do is that I think of how I am when I am not on it and how I am when I am. I like who I am much better on it, so that is a major incentive for me.
But then i remember the breakdowns of the past, both manic and depressive... and the pain I was in before...
...and like a dutiful little girl, I toss 'em back and swallow 'em down.
