My post, on my personal Facebook page today, reads: “I’m just not feeling it, today”. It’s true. I feel wiped out, and sad.
I suspect, that I know, the reason why. It is because I forgot, to take my morning & afternoon psychiatric medications, on yesterday morning & afternoon…5 different types of drugs, Effexor, Abilify, BuSpar, Trillifon, and Neurontin.
I remember to take my medications, 98%, of the time, I’d say. Nobody is perfect, but I strive to be. The reason, I try so hard, to take my medications, on time, is because, when I miss a dose, or 2, I feel insecure, paranoid, frustrated, scared, panicky, depressed, guilty, etc.
Yesterday, early in the evening, I had a one-way texting disagreement with a friend from my high school years. It didn’t make a lot of sense, frankly. It wasn’t until evening, after my nonsensical, texting, that I remembered that I had forgotten to take my meds.
This morning, until now, I have felt guilty, for frustrating my friend. Always remember to take your medications, my friends.
Hello,
I’m Christine
My name is Christine and I am almost 45 years old. This is my very first blog. I am writing because I feel like I am living in a closet. But I am not gay, I am mentally ill, I have Schizoaffective Disorder. I also have PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder). Not many people know this about me. I have been fearful of “coming out”, because, frankly, the human population has not always been kind to people with mental illness. But isn’t it time that we come to accept all of our bothers & sisters, regardless of their differences?
