Hi,
Tomorrow I am going to see a new psychiatrist(6th one so far) and I hope it will be ok. After all these years, I am finally starting to make more decisions instead of trusting the doctor so much. But the last time I was given a lot of choices with meds, it didn't go well. So I guess it's like you're damned if you do and if you don't.
I also blame myself for a lot of treatment decisions I did or didn't make. But at the same time I am happy that I have more insight about things now. My plan now is to try and go off meds because it appears that I may have not needed them for so many years to begin with. Then I get mad about that but it's over, you know? I don't get it. All these years I have been dealing with a diagnosis of manic depression myself, no help from family. They were afraid to approach me about it- for 7 years. Friends don't really get it, they're great but they don't know what to tell you about your mind.
Whoever took time too read this thanks;this is therapeutic for me.
Sara
