Complex PTSD, Bipolar type 2, Borderline Personality Disorder. This is my diagnosis. Anyone else the same?

I'm just reaching out. My diagnosis has floored me. Medication is mad. So much of it. I stopped taking my medication for 3 days. My doctor today said I look like a heroin addict and that it was a very stupid thing for me to do. 3 days from regular me post diagnosis to physically unwell, to the point of nearly requiring hospitalisation. Back on Meds full swing. Feel so much better already.

Hello Breaking Bad, I can raise my hand to deciding not to take medication. I have had my prescription run out before, and think oh well, I can wait till next week to refill it, there's no hurry. Like you, after 3 days of cold turkey I felt demented and like my head was going to explode. There's a reason it says ' do not stop taking this medicine ' on the packet. I found this hard to deal with in the early days because it actually made me feel like an addict, but after a time I realised I was being hard on myself and that I wouldn't think the same way about my father having to take pills for his dodgy ticker, so why should I feel that way about my illness? I hope you are starting to feela  bit more stable and glad you have dropped in for a chat.
