I'm torn. I was thinking today about starting the tapering process, and there's so much at stake. If I land in a mental hospital b/c I'm not medicated, my parents won't help me out anymore--they've made that quite clear already. Even if I don't end up in a loony bin, I could end up even more socially isolated, tormented by psychosis.
I've been praying about this, but I'm still struggling. I've been thinking a lot about this, but I'm still conflicted. What to do, what to do?
I mean, its not as if I'm on a super-high dose of Haldol or anything. Its Abilify and Celexa, 2 relatively safe medications (I mean, as psychotropics go...).
I don't want to end up hospitalized, I don't want to waste my life with untreated psychosis, but I don't like Psychiatry. I just don't.
Thoughts? Thanks for tolerating my posts on the subject, by the way--they've been coming pretty regularly now.
