I'm Still Alive (Wish Me Luck, Please)

Thanks for the offer, but going to live where you are would most likely have very detrimental effects on my relationship with my family. That and I want to get as far from the Middle East as possible until I have had some peace of mind elsewhere. :D
Fake a Syrian passport, say your gay and are facing persecution in your homeland, then approach the Canadian embassy. We'd love to have you here. :)

Thanks for the kind words and thoughts, all.

To clarify, I'm certainly not planning to stop the meds abruptly; I know how dangerous that is. The reason I'm looking for a therapist to guide me through the process is that i Know how dangerous it is to stop psychiatric medications abruptly and/or without professional guidance.

Hopefully I'll find a therapist who will be willing to work with me on this.

I am thinking of staying in a rehab for a couple of weeks,too. I exaggerated, alcohol and smoking too too much. At least I admit myself that I have substance problems. I have dipsomania towards everything.

Thank heavens your doing that, I myself need anti-psychotics, I think I would be dead right now without them, who cares about the adverse effects, its more of quality, than longevity that's important.

That's very good to know. At first, I was worried that you were planning to go at this alone. I pray that you will find a willing and understanding therapist.

Please keep hope. You can do this.

Okay, so, a couple of days ago, I missed a dose of two of the meds I'm on. My mood was terrible throughout the day, and I was literally almost not afraid at all of dying. I was careless while crossing the road, for example. The thought I had was, "What's the worst that could happen? A quick death? I don't care."

And then today I had similar thoughts. A truck was passing nearby while I was walking carelessly, and a friend pushed me aside. If he hadn't been there, I would have gotten hit by the side of the truck.

This is going to be hard if I decide to keep trying to do it.

I haven't; I can't engage in the physical exercise required for them due to some injuries.

You can take specific practices, but I understand how difficult it would be. Boxing for punches, kick boxing for kicks and aikido for no pressure maneuvers, or parts of it, for example. Try giving it a thought sometime if you can.

How about regularly and carefully reducing dosage? Maybe your body and brain got used to the amount and they would go haywire if it goes all out so suddenly.

And man, at least think of those who love you and care about you. Think of me and your friends here on RF. Not in the nude tho, I'd feel weird. No really, jokes aside, I'm serious about this.

You may think of @Revoltingest wearing a skirt if you want tho, but don't hold me responsible for it.

Be careful DS. I stopped my meds because they made me feel worse, as in my thoughts got darker... Plus I got confirmation later by someone that meds wouldn't help me that therapy was what I needed... But if you get really bad without yours, well let's just say that worries me. :/
