Thank you

What is the nail in the coffin? What's the thing making me want to give up?

Maybe this is just what I need- a place to share truth about mental illness.Being unmedicated takes its toll on people. For me, I now have a hair-trigger emotional response to things. I have to be very careful with what I say- or I can hurt the ones I love. Nobody wants that, especially me.

When I get one step forward, I am kicked back four. It doesn't seem like I will ever get ahead.

I was surprised when my therapist told me I had "successfully" been off my psych meds for 6 months. "Successfully" means I haven't checked into a hospital. I pointed out that I did not feel that it was successful because of the anxiety and stress I am under that the meds balanced out. What a world.

It will get better- we got most of the issues resolved

The week has been a roller coaster- car caught fire, second car died, threats of foreclosure- and now that most of the stuff is resolved, I am in a constant state of anxiety. This is no bueno.

Life can scare you to death at times. Today was one of them.
