Should I just suck this up?

[monkey_magic]

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". ?

I want to know the side effects to be prepared. I went for a walk n swim to feel good, not today though. Today I'm sitting on the couch with anxiety and to be a contadiction to myself I want something for the anxiety I feel. A psychiatrist has been booked for next week and I need to get myself together for that. Hopefully all goes to plan and I get a letter to say I'm normal to get out taking this injection.

I've been reading of your efforts at the gym excellent!!!. Today I'm the one that's scattered lol...thankyou for your nice and calm feeling 🙂

Dear MM

I understand why you read up on side effects, however firstly I think you are a very aware person and will suss them out anyway and secondly reading about them is a bit of a trigger - if it was me I'd avoid doing that.

With the walk and swim, you always have been someone that does it a lot, this of course gives you different standards from most folks. What seems like a short jog to you may seem unattainable to others. So it is possible you get discouraged when not feeling that good and think you are not able to do your regular exercise. Maybe you can just do a little? Small steps and then feel good you managed them.

A couch is not a good place to battle anxiety -why am I telling you that? You know that already.

Well, I hope the new psych will give you the letter, if not can you get the psych to ague about the ill effects of those injections as a sort of backup plan?

Hi again Mr Croix,

That's right small steps it is. The psychiatrist said I still need to be on the meds even if I have adverse effects, the only thing that can get me out of it is that letter. Yeah lying on the couch isn't good for anxiety, I have to do something about it which I am now. Anyhow onward n upwards from here, life can only get better. I will make it better

OK everyone,

I am going to make some changes to my life. Changes on the inside and changes on the outside, can't wait

[monkey_magic]

Didn't get the letter. Psych doesn't think he should have to hold the other psychs hand and thinks he should or the tribuneral should make the decision to take me off meds. So, I'm reading reviews of others that have taken what I'm on and researched what a well informed psych has had to say about medications and their effects. Not good....bad

[monkey_magic]

I will add there have also been some good reviews by people.

[monkey_magic]

Love google. Just found out other info professionals haven't told me about CTO's, getting out of them and the real deal with these medications. I'm more informed now & have more hope.

Hi monkey_magic,

Sorry, it has been a while since I visited. It seems a lot has (is) happening...

I like how proactive and determined you are and want to take charge of your own life. Empowerment and all that. Such true grit and resilience 🙂

Caring thoughts,

Pepper xoxo

I am screwed. Psych drugs can do permanent damage, psychiatrists diagnose so how am I supposed to get this letter to say I'm normal. I am screwed. Screwed by drug companies, people, psychiatrist, and my openness. Screwed by meds. I am screwed.
