Should I just suck this up?

OK, this isn't easy for me to write bcas I respect police also but this is my situation.

I aparantly unlawfully entered a friends property, that's right a friends property. He wasn't home and I wasn't believed. Anyhow I was put in a mental institution. I preferred the hospital choice over the police station choice thinking I'll be in there for a couple weeks.

3 months later I came out overmedicated feeling like shite...misdiagnosed with a mental illness as a " safety net" seriously!!!!

3 months of my life where I couldn't work, and live my normal life. Inclosed in a small space, going crazy.

Should I just " suck this up". ?

Hi monkey_magic,

I'm glad Butterfly visited; she gives some of the best hugs ever 😉

Vent away...let it out.

You sound so distraught and sad, and understandably so. I know it has been a very exhausting and tough time for you.

Loving thoughts,

Pepper xoxo

Yep, I've been passionately angry about it as well, thanks for the hugs, I'm sure they're the best hugs ever 🙂 I went in there saying I'm drugged.. I go to the pharmacy saying I need to buy this crap, I let the doc who injects me know I don't want this to be happening, it's crazy, I feel crazy on this stuff....

Hi monkey_magic,

You do sound very distraught. I have no insight or wisdom but I can hopefully offer some small comfort. I hear you...

Hi everyone,

Ive been doing research about what's in what I'm taking, side effects, whether the combination can be taken together etc & its OK. I needed reassurance. I'm still not happy about having to take them and never will be. I guess this is my lot in life, my opposition has won even though I exercise and am good but a diagnosis has needed to be slapped on me for some strange reason and they feel the need to keep going along with it. My case manager said she feels sorry for me and believes me.

At least I'm out of my triggering moment...feeling a sort of " safe" right now. God ppl can make me anxious lol....I've had some scary things happen in my life & learnt I'm dealing with triggers now.....

Hi monkey_magic,

I know you have had a lot happen in your life. I'm glad you got through your most recent trigger. Must have been tough but you got through it...credit to you 🙂

xoxo

Thankyou pepper,

Im now reading about the side effects of another drug I'm on, I'm absolutely not OK with this. I felt slowed down walking, now I know why. I really need to get these drugs out of my system & put a stop to this!!!

I haven't left the house ,well the couch today...tears r on & off...I'm being stubborn...I just read up on what I've been diagnosed with and I'm clear its not true..stress is thru the roof...I'm not helping myself...I've lost some hope...laying here stressed, being unhealthy...eating so much chocolate. Being medicated effects me...I don't feel the full effect of what I do anymore!
