I’m glad the meds exist but feel that the long term effects will kill me in the end.
Some of the therapies can help you become more stable so that you can tell when you’re starting to slip and self-correct as much as possible. They can also help you manage stress so you don’t make existing problems worse. Therapy can’t fix all problems and you may need meds for life. There’s no shame in it.
Typically, we like to leave inactive threads alone and just start a new thread instead. This is different than how some forums are run, but we do it this way because it frequently upsets users to have old topics revived when they are no longer relevant. It can also be frustrating to the person who revived the thread when they don’t get a reply, because the original poster is no longer active or no longer finds the topic relevant. Feel free to start a new thread on this topic.
Thanks,
