Fred, Alex, John and the Woman are very nasty to me when I try to suppress them with the olanzapine. I've stopped taking my meds (but only my friend knows in real life) and now Fre, Alex, John and the Woman have become very helpful and kind. They help me solve maths problems. When I am on the meds, I can't do the maths, the numbers don't come to my head as easily. Maths is a huge part of my life. I nearly got into the UK Maths Team and I want to get to that level one day.

Do you think I am mad? Do you think I should tell my friend to leave me alone? Do you think my doctor could actually do anything if she told him I'm not taking my meds? I don't need those meds; they suppress the numbers.

It is not they who are solving the math problems, they're a manifestation of your subconscious; it is in fact you who is solving the problems, and I guess your medication intereres with that as a side effect.

I don't think your mad, and your friend is just looking out for you! I don't know what could happen if they found out you are not taking medication, but I honestly thing you should take it Steel Maiden. Sorry I don't know your name.
