Dear @MisterBGone,
Thank you for your kindness. My new clinical psychologist tells me how much she respects becsuse of my strength & courage. Though I don't see myself this way most of the time. Most of the time I see myself as a failure becsuse I struggle so much. I want to share a screenshot of a text message she sent me the evening before she left for her conference/vacation in the UK: View attachment 70223
Truth be told, I wish I could be on disability & not work. I'm certain I'd qualify for it. The two problems with being on disability are that I can't live on the amount I'd receive on a monthly basis, &, I wouldn't have the distraction from my problems that having a job provides. I have to put a lot of energy into covering up how I'm feeling so I don't loose my job. But at least when I'm there, having to focus hard on what I'm doing which gives me respite from how I'm feeling. I hope that makes sense. Thank you & hugs!

I'm working on getting off my medications so I can hopefully feel like myself again and give my brain a chance to heal. All these side effects and long term effects have made me worse than I was to begin with. So I started with Suboxone. 4 1/2 more months until I'm done with the taper. Then my antidepressant, which made me restless and unable to sleep. I'm on half my original dose. And now, clonazepam. I was on 2mg a day. Now I'm on 1mg, and I've been feeling a bit lethargic and nauseated. I really wish I hadn't gotten caught up taking so many medications. But I guess I have to keep going. My only real concern is my antipsychotic. That if I get off of it fully, the voices and hallucinations will come back. So for now I'm staying on a low dose and things seem okay enough. Time will tell what to do next.
