Im just blahh dont like it, im not me, everything is empty dont like that feeling want to feel im there.I've never experienced this "not myself" thing on medication that is so famous throughout the land.
Sometimes medication makes you feel your not yourself its not new, it gets in your head and body, feel disorientated and confused and tired your not yourself.Hate that feeling.I've never experienced this "not myself" thing on medication that is so famous throughout the land.
The upcoming future, the unknown, like what if i order my credit card when it expires and it gets sent to the wrong place after i paid rent and am broke? Ill be homeless, what if i get mugged when paying rent money? What if i cant pay my dui fine payment on time because i did not recieve my new card i go to jail again, what if i finally fall in love and my partner is abusive to me again? Survived an abusive relationship and afraid ill get in another one, got intimate with a partner once she wanted me to move in with her, got triggered and cut her off. Survival i must survive.Stepmom passed away and worry if my dad passes away soon, my only family close, he wants to give me his house but ill be alone,dont know what to do worry worry worry i do, things like that.Situations where i feel helpless and have no control and bad things are going to happen to me as well,feeling like being a turtle on its back, anxiety kicks in and I panic.Cops harass me because im awquard and try to find reasons to arrest assuming im on drugs and they get suspicious me then finally let me go,now they found a legit reason to arrest me for dui, they still harass me.If i get arrested for no reason ill self harm and try to kill myself, cuffing me to the chair wont stop me this time, the chair in solitary confinement wont stop me ill keep hurting myself and want to die im not a criminal, they will have to transfer me to the hospital psyche ward, im treated like a baby there but im not a criminal but a patient, dope me up, i give up at that point.At least hospital staff are nicer to me and i can sleep on a comfy bed, Correctional officers are mean and treat me like im not human.What makes you feel unsafe? I apologize if you've explained somewhere already.
Very severe, i know how a wild animal feels, i myself wild always alert and defensive in fear.Sounds like severe anxiety!
I just want to be loved and safe, no more pain dont want to die either just be happy safe and free.There isn't anything to be sorry about here.
I don't have any advice that doesn't include medication. There are hundreds of them, so it's not either "be sedated or be miserable".
i guess i do, i prefer to be calm.Lithium sounds nice, but Adderal when already anxious is a bad idea, makes my moodswings go nuts just having a few energy drinks while anxious.Adderal paired with anxiety might as well dress up as a goat with a lit flare in front of a T-Rex lol.I take:
Lithium
Wellbutrin
Adderall
Buspar
Gabapentin
And I don't feel sedated, don't feel like I lost any of myself (gained instead), and rarely feel as if I'm even medicated at all, except that the rollercoaster, for the most part, has ended.
Is it possible you prefer the rollercoaster? Some do. At least for a while.
