I missed yesterday morning’s too by accident and a few others lately.

I don’t want to take any of them because I hate that I need them. I just want to be normal LOL

But I DID NOT skip them obviously but dang did I want to LOL

I took them but NOT happily LOL

Let me just emphasize something here. No one is normal. Normal is a fallacy. Literally every single human on this planet is different in some way from everyone else. The sooner you realize this, the happier you'll be in life.

Please do not skip your meds chasing a fallacy, especially if those meds are legitimately helping you when you are on them. You taking your meds makes you no less human than someone else taking asthma meds, or blood pressure meds, or epilepsy meds, or anything else. Certainly you would not suggest someone with one of those issues go off their meds to 'be more normal', right?

Wanted to share this here as well. I think they're mostly a midwestern company, but if any of you have a Rural King in your area, you ought to go check out their T-shirts. They have some really cute ones right now!!

This one will probably depict my mood for the next 17 weeks

My spring semester starts tomorrow

Thank you so much!!!!!! You’re 1000% right! And I definitely would never tell anyone else to go off them. But I guess what I meant by normal is not needing meds to function LOL and I felt kinda broken yesterday and earlier this morning… BUT!!!!!! I’m trying to change my mindset now. They ARE helping me so I DO want to stay on them… it’s not pretty when I’m not LOL but I just have to get over the feeling broken thing. But the weird part is… when I missed doses or have purposely skipped them in the past, it’s been ALL of them, not just the psych/mental health ones. I’m on stuff for diabetes, GERD, and migraines too. Skipped all of em. BUT! These recent times really were accidents/just forgetting. But I have purposely skipped before like 3-4 months ago. That’s a huge reason I ended up in the hospital in October

I prefer to think of it this way: If your meds are helping you to live well, then they are keeping you from breaking, not a sign that you are broken. Take your diabetes meds for example. These help to stabilize your blood glucose so that excess of it circulating in your blood isn't causing damage, particularly to the microvasculature throughout your body. In that way, it's preventing your body from breaking down. Your psych meds are much the same; they stabilize your thought patterns, emotions, or other aspects of your psyche that impact your mental health and could cause you to break down without treatment. Just because the symptoms are less overt compared to symptoms of diabetes does not mean that the condition is any less valid or that it isn't important to treat as well. That's the perspective I view it from, anyway.



As far as forgetting, set yourself an alarm in your phone as a reminder! What else do we have these darn things on us 24/7 for if not to help us out with stuff like that!

Thank you so much again!!!!! You’re definitely right and that view makes a lot of sense lol

And hahah I did actually eventually set alarms so now I have them but yeah. Great idea!
