This last time was the longest. The sexual dysfunction (which hardly matters as I don't even talk to women, let alone, do anything else with them), never went away, even after a year and a 1/2.
I quit mostly because the medication used to keep the suicidal thoughts at bay, and not much more than that, but stopped working for me. So, I tapered off, and quit. I won't go back on it again.
I can't meditate, or do anything even remotely like that. I'm still bi-polar, at least my mania/hypo-mania returned. I can't relax, or put myself in a state when I can slow my thoughts down. I second I close my eyes, 8000 thoughts go flying through my head. My version of meditation is to lay down, and daydream, and if I talk to myself, I can stay focused (for a little bit anyway) on one daydream/fantasy, etc. It doesn't help me at all, because all I dream about is Sarah (my soul-mate that got away), whether I want to or not. She's kinda of "all I have", and she's not even real, well, not anymore.
