"I am wondering what stability means. Is stable when I'm not yelling at my kids, is it when I am no longer having panic attacks, is it when I can leave my house or when the confusion is over? How will I know when I AM stable?" Michelle DOCS HAVE ABANDONED ME "I've decided that since the meds aren't doing what I need them to do now...and that the docs won't put me on anti-deps cuz they think that I'll get manic...(I NEED anti-deps!) I've decided to give up on them.
They aren't giving me the help that I need or the help that I am practically BEGGING for...it's not like I haven't tried. I'm going off my meds." Shanespoison
