my life was more f**ked up when i saw psychiatrists....just throwing me onto whatever meds and not taking the time to even ask me anything before changing them again!
when i told them i was feeling a little paranoid and that sometimes i would look across the room and think i saw something occationally...or things like floaters and stuff...they said i was schizo...just like that...and because my late uncle was schizo they thought that was a perfect diagnosis!!! f**k sake!
when i told them that i was getting allergic...i repeat ALLERGIC reactions to meds they just said that i was over reacting over the mild side effects.....i do not call chronic skin burning, blacking out, difficulty breathing, closed throat, head and chest pains and tightness all mild side effects!!!
best thing i ever did was stop seeing them....i felt i had a little more control on my life....not much...but a little....
you need to see people you are comfortable with....and do not just do what they say....they may be the ones treating you but you are the one who decides what to ultimately do....ok you may not know what to do...but then again who truely does?!?!
i now just see my GP and a new psychologist and i am not on meds....
for 5 months i did the same thing....it got to the stage when i did not know the day or date as everyday just felt like a repeat of the other...i was SO depressed, tired, bored, frustrated, upset...just a mixture of negative emotions, thoughts and feelings....and i knew i had to do something to really change my life! so i thought that the next day i could totally change my life!
next day came...
i did f**k all....did the same thing....stuck in the same routine....
there is no way you can change your life all of a sudden...you need to do something new/different each day and it will all add up....i know doing this kind of thing can seem piontless, scary and just as a distraction....but is CAN help...and there is no way you are going to know unless you just have a go and stick with it....
again i know it is scary...but things are scary anyway and living the way you are...in a pattern which you are unhappy with...is not helping one bit...
i hope this post has helped somewhat....it is 11:06pm and i am so tired that i do not really remember what i have typed haha
take care Cynthia and i wish nothing but the best for you...i really do...take care...

then bite the bullet....change your life....do something NOW fo a change! start small and progress from there! i know it is scary but if you just keep doing what you are doing you will never get better! i really do not meant to sound harsh so i am sorry if it sounds like it....
