Lin,
I wonder if being in the mental health field is sort of working against you at the moment. I mean, you are probably very analytical about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors--and that's a lot for a "normal" to handle. Add in a job, a misdiagnosis, re-diagnosis, and psych meds--well, you may be working hard enough for three people trying to keep tabs on everything.I agree with Janice that worrying about my meds has taken a back seat because I might be in that other dimension without them. I'm not totally comfortable, but I really believe I am better off with them than without them. I am still tweaking my meds, and have been through some med trials that were awful.
I also agree with Janice that if you are feeling this way and you've been on your meds for a while, it may not be a good combo for you. Do you see a Psychiatrist/Psychopharm for your meds? Or your GP?
Please keep writing, and let us know how you are. You might find comfort knowing that there are people here in the MH field, and people who have probably experienced what you are going through.
You are not alone. (We are not alone?)
Take care and please keep writing!
Shar
