Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
My medications are being refilled in my pharmacy and I really need to pick them up. I haven't taken any of my meds in two days. I go throuh this every few months where I am tired of taking medications and I just want to quite. I take prozac, lamictal and rexulti. What happens is a day or two will go by where I just forget to take them, and well I survive. Then, I begin to think, well do I really need them if I can survive fine for a few days without them? I realize that prozac takes a while to leave your system and so the effects of being off of prozac are delayed. I experience withdrawal symptoms from lamictal pretty quickly, but physically I am able to adjust. Mentally, I recognize that it is only a matter of time before the intense anger and desperation that I experience off of lamictal, and the paralyzing anxiety off of prozac will come back; however, just for a few days, it is nice to feel like I am not dependent on some drug to keep me stable. It is nice to have the dullness that is caused by the lamictal begin to lift. I know I need to pick up my meds, but I just don't want to deal with it. I also feel the laziness overcome me. THen I think about having to make it home and hide the medications since my family does not know I take psychotropic meds. It's not like I do great with them. The meds seem to stabilize me just enough that I am functional, though unhappy. Sometimes being 'just functional' seems like too much work to be worth it.

I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only. It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals. I have been wanting a new dress. I like dressing up sometimes. My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant. But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again. I went through this in the fall. I bought...
