It is difficult to accept but in the current climate in the UK you have to comply, or they won’t let you out and keep you there indefinitely.
It is a hard lesson to learn, but it is the way it is.
Honeslty, you have some bizarre beliefs that you hold on to with or without meds.
It is quite common due to our conditioning to have ‘magical’ but socially accepted beliefs, so it is hard to distinguish what is reality while so many hold these superstitious views sz or not.
Also, the inability to refrain from alcohol while on clozapine is quite telling in regards to consumption and alcohol issues.
This too is understandable due to traumatic childhoods and experiences, but nevertheless an issue to be resolved.
The refusal to take meds while holding bizarre beliefs may well keep you incarcerated for a long time, or longer time in this case.
Whether they work or not, is not really the issue. The issue for the authoirities is to ensure that they have done their part in mitigating legal and moral frameworks by ensuring you take meds.
The fact that you will not comply forces them to keep you institutionalised.
The inability to recognise how ill you are, like the idea that voices are alien/supernatural and have sentience in some form illustrates this.
And while it is true many szs live with these notions outside hospital and medicated, carries little wieght to the hospital when you go on leave and go on a bender and literally OD twice.
They want to keep you alive. They want legal assurance that you will take meds.
They are not concerened with your happiness per se. A passive patient is the ideal.
13 months hasn’t taught you this.
I want you to get out and live a happy as possible life, but like it or not you will have to comply.
It sucks, but it is the only way.
Sorry.
