no meds
Quote From: mustbecrazyI think you need to talk with your therapist or doctor...you aren't making any sense...obviously you are upset, and you need to talk to somebody...are you on meds??? Meds are so important to achieving and maintaining balance. Please let us know how you are doing...Becky Medication have not work for me in the past. I've tried several combination, no lithium, but I never push the issue with my doctors because of all the side effects from other medications. I read about side effects from lithium and like medication, and the thought of trying them made me more afraid. I haven't been on meds since 2003, I know this is not good, yet, the fear of the medical problems associated with mental health medication, builds the anxiety in me. I admit I haven't been mentally stable during these passed four years, I cope, by limiting my social visits, and staying inside when there is nothing important to do. I have three children, I truely believe they are somewhat affected by my mental issues. I have a great support system with a small group of family members, but some things still set me off, and during these times is when I realize, I have this disorder and it's not going away on its own. It is hard for me to express my feelings in group settings because my anxiety disorder takes control, and i feel very vulnerable. I love the fact that I can tell someone through medians like this.
