But I wouldn't want to take antipsychotics.
I mean once you start with APs it's like you've reached the final stage of "insanity".And if they just sedate you up put you in a zombie-like mode then how shall you function anymore?
One reason why I'm having much additional stress on top of the stress which I already had before is that I have exams coming up in a few weeks and I'm really scared of them.
And this stress/fear added up to my other problems is simply getting too much. But there's really nothing I can do now.
If I skip them then I get kicked out. I already postponed them multiple times out of fear and depression.
In 2011 I already had the diagnosis of being burnt out and since then things have gotten much worse and no antidepressant or other stuff I tried changed anything about that. :(
I also feel like nobody even really believes me. I mean I told my parents many times that I'm really worried about losing my mind sooner or later or getting a nervous breakdown cause it's getting too much and they just say I gotta take the exams and I gotta try it cause otherwise the consequences of being kicked out would be even worse. That's true. If I got kicked out I'd also feel awful. My situation wouldn't improve or the pressure wouldn't dissolve.
There's no way to just get rid of the pressure.
