Meds make me content with being by myself

seems like this is the case, or im just getting older

Money does for me…a career a passion, a path

Unfortunately I have no money or career but I do have a path

This was my path until I became med-compliant…

This is great news @crsaen :blush:

it took me 10 years to get used to meds/drugs

I feel like meds stop me from being who i was. I used to be goofy and creative but now i just feel like that part of my mind was cut off.

I feel the same. Until you can be happy by yourself you’re no good to anyone else they say. I miss the openness of my mind before meds but I don’t miss the craziness. I think stability enables a different sort of creativity.

I like myself better on medication. I feel more tired, but I also feel more focused, less afraid, and more creative as a result. I’m glad you’ve found contentment, @crsaen. I wish we all knew each other in real life, but in the meantime we know you online, and you’re a great addition to these threads.

For people experiencing difficulties on medication, I recommend adding in therapy (occupational, CBT, animal, art, strengths-based, whatever) if you’re not already doing that. I find that therapy helps me relax and teaches me skills like coping with boredom and frazzled thoughts. :slight_smile:
