Add-on

There was quite a reaction from my last post. I really didn't expect it. I had 150 views in a 24 period and a lot of replies. A lot of people came to me concerned about me not taking my medicine, and also people offering me money for the meds and/or my school bills. It was of course nice seeing all the support I had, but it wasn't something I was expecting. I did want to add something though, maybe it will make people feel better:

This particular medicine is an "add-on". My mood stabilizer is my main med. The antidepressant is to help with the depression symptoms. The one I stopped, the antipsychotic, that is a little different. And I am trying to think of the right way to phrase it. Basically it helps keep me a little more sane. I was started on it when I was in the hospital. Soooo, even though it was not good that I just stopped taking it without consulting my doctor, it was not an extreme move as it wasn't my mood stabilzer. I think hearing "antipsychotic" makes it sound extreme. It's not always. Sometimes it's just an add on. Anyway, as of today I am back on it.

There isn't much to this post, I just wanted to get that out there to those who were concerned. I also wanted to say thank you to everyone who has been reading. When I started this blog I didn't think many people would read, and respond! But having 150 views in a day is pretty amazing. So thank you :)
