Thanks for the advice.

Romp, I appreciate your honesty.

I just feel like if I came off them this time would be different. I'd be able to stop things getting out of control. I mean, I should be able to control my own mind, right? Perhaps I just didn't try hard enough last time. In terms of swapping meds, I absolutely hate re-starting something new. All of them have weight gain as a side-effect which I don't want. If I'm honest, that's also part of the reason I want to come off them. To lose more weight.

My moods defined me. They made me who I am. Through them I have had some of the most intense experiences of my life. And now they are gone, and I am left bored by the dreary routine of my life. I’m just not really enjoying it. I’m stuck between the two halves of me which together make a whole, now without all the emotions I got so used to, and this new “stable” me is strange and blank and empty.

I think I just needed to get it out. The fact that I'm frustrated about the whole situation.



There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!
