Do you take your meds for yourself or do you take them for your loved ones, your community, your doctors?
For myself…
For my loved ones. They deserve me to act like a normal human not a raging one
The Governor of Colorado signed a paper saying I had to be on meds. So be it.
I take them for myself. I don’t have kids or a significant other, though.
For myself and my family.
I can become dangerous off meds.
Myself and my mom.
Myself, because I want to be sane.
And my family and friends, because they want to see me healthy and happy.
For myself. I’ve tried to get off of them, and I caved every time.
For myself. I’m addicted to Seroquel and maybe Prozac.
Myself, family, and society. I’d probably be so anxious off of them. I really believe I’m in the matrix. Doesn’t help that it was in the news today after a billionaire said he thinks so too Haha. Problem is I cannot get over it. I’d suffer from solipsism or something. Would barely even be functional. I guess I do it for myself, mainly.
I’m pretty sure I’m in a time loop.
Originally when I started taking meds it was for my doctors, then when my family saw how much better I could be they wanted me to keep taking them so I did for them, now I do it because I get scared by how I start to think and feel when I don’t take them. So I guess I take the meds for all of us.
Mainly myself. My sisters want me to do good but I’m a grown adult and they can’t help me as much as when I was young. I can’t drag them down by not taking my meds. I have to sink or swim so the smartest thing to do is keep taking them.
My loved ones. If it was just for me I would take them all at once. But that’s not fair to my kids
Me. I don’t like hospitals and that’s where I end up without them.
I was just thinking about this recently. It seems many people with psychosis have to take their meds so that they are not a burden to others rather than because they really want to.
I take meds for myself to improve my personal functioning & quality of life.
I take them for myself so I don’t end up homeless, stressed and crazy
Are you serious? How did that happen?
For myself and family. I can’t say I like explaining to my poor mother when I slash my arm up or her having to drive through a blizzard to get me to an intake.
For my husband and for myself. If it weren’t for my husband I’d be more tempted to come off them at times but even when I’m well I tell myself take them bcuz I can’t afford to be ill when I have my husband to look after. If I don’t take them i can’t look after him and not even myself. And would have to return to hospital.
