My functioning is :poop: both on and off meds. If I can get over this withdrawal hump maybe it will be better.

I was “functioning” before I got started on medication through a dysfunctional cycle via illnesses, but that was in a low stress environment. The environment changed and my functioning fell apart because it couldn’t withstand the stress I was putting it through. Now I’m lower functioning than when I was a teenager, and I was even more delusional and less insightful in those early days.

Are you sure you don’t have a rose tinted view of the past ? I get that sometimes.

I was “crazy” before an AP but in a different way.
On meds my negatives are worst.
It’s just different.

I understand your frustration. I would appear to be your opposite. Before meds I was angry and frequently irrational. I was still depressed, it just showed in ways other than sadness. I have a shot at feeling better now.
