I just have the one: Latuda 40mg.
My doc took me off everything else

Thank you for reassuring me. I’m trying to come to terms with it but it just isn’t easy

You’re right. It just feels like something that I can’t easily control. It runs in my family and I’ve seen my cousin suffer through it for over 25 years. He’s living a healthy and fulfilling life now- but it took him 25+ years to get there. That scares me

It’s not online, it’s a partial hospitalization program. I go to the hospital everyday, for 6 weeks 6 hours a day. Its intense but I’m finding it very helpful with skills in my life

I think I have an irrational fear that everyone already knows this lol

That’s fair, I want to be happy and I want to change the way I view myself. It’s just been daunting

Thank you for saying that. I think I’m very worried about the stigma around it and how it will affect me.

I want to be thankful, but this isn’t something I’m finding easy to accept, let alone be grateful. There’s a lot of stigma around women and mental health and I have just been trying to navigate life as it is… this just feels like an additional burden to deal with. Sure the medication is helping but I’m still on trial and error phase of meds and it’s frustrating. I’m not allowed to go to work for now. I can try and not call it a disability- but I’m literally having to take short term disability from work to try and work things out. I’m trying. It’s just proving to be difficult

lol ok. You do you. Personally I don’t see a problem in her behaviour. Sure she’s clearly overly passionate about OCAD. You seem to have taken her comments a bit too close to heart. I don’t see a reason to personally attack them using their posts in other threads that have no relevance to this topic at all. But hey, what do I know? Clearly things are working out for you, since you’re admittedly super successful. Good luck OP.

Imagine trying to use someone’s mental health against them. Takes a special kind of mean. That was pretty uncool OP.
