Scared that they will force me to stay on meds

Yeah but I don’t want anyone to find out that I’m on the shot… also i feel like the nurse giving it is judging me

try to not care about the judging… it’s hard, i know, but try to not let it rule your life. If you need to shot and it helps you then that is a good thing. You should be proud you try to get better.

I guess you’re right but I will ask my pdoc to let me go on pills

They can just as easily find out about the pills.

How are they gonna find out ?

If they see your pill bottle they’ll know. I don’t think they’re going to find out about the shot.

My friend almost found out though…

But she didnt find out. What were the circumstances that she almost knew

I mean you could say you get vitamin b12 shots

she almost saw the box for the shot so wouldn’t have helped

she prob doesn’t even know what it is, if she did see the box

yes she does because she’s on abilify herself (for depression)

why is it so bad then that she would find out? She’ll prob would understand as she going through MI herself.

because shots are embarrassing af, she would think i lack insight

i think you worry too much about others but if it really is that bothersome for you then switch to pills yea… but what to do when she would see the pills sometime maybe… i dunno =/

She knows im on abilify so i wouldnt care

ah i don’t get what the problem with the shots then was… i thought you were scared of her finding out. Or do you mean other people finding out?

Other people mostly

You shouldn’t worry about others knowing. They can’t go to your nurse visits. Or does your nurse come to you? Regardless, when you’re no longer in foster care, you can just not have friends over or with you when it’s time for the shot

I get the sense that crystal is in high school I don’t think they should put high school kids on powerful life altering antipsychotics but I haven’t really read his post. You probably won’t be on them for life just take the medication and be kind to your doctor
