I'm not taking my Abilify right now, and I feel good. Perhaps even great. I am, however, a bit angry. Some of you may remember a relatively recent post about how I called up an ex-therapist and let him know I felt about his "services." It was cathartic, but now I want to do it again. He was out of the office when I called last time, so now I'd kind of like to actually talk to the man and see what he has to say.
I am getting kind of angry. I still sleep, my hallucinations are minimal (even with meds I get I low-level auditory hallucinations), and I'm not freaking out or anything.
I talked to a friend and she freaked out when I told her I wasn't on my medication. She wants me to re-start it ASAP. I just don't know...I mean, tranquilizers, really? I don't want to be dulled out and stupid all the time, and I don't want TD. I also don't like how popping the meds is like being a part of my own oppression. I mean, if I take the antipsychotic everyday, I'm basically saying: "Yes, I have a broken brain/brain disease and I need chemical restraints. I will voluntarily take these crappy pills because you, the psychiatric experts, are right. Thanks."
I mean, that's total BS.
What do you guys think?
