I’m coming off my depot

And it’s a relief to be honest. I feel like I am faking all this and I can’t keep taking something I don’t need and having support I don’t need. It’s wrong in so many ways.

I just got off the phone to my nurse. I’ve told her I don’t want it anymore so I’ll be meeting with my new psychiatrist at some point.

Hmm, I think you should talk to your pdoc first. If you were faking it then you might have a personality disorder or munchausen’s or something like that. Maybe to a lesser degree?

I really feel for you. I’m sorry what you’re going through must be difficult.

I’m not a doctor so I don’t know if you’re ill or not. I can only go by your word

I’ve had idle hands today. A lot of over thinking. Yep. I don’t want this depot anymore. It’s not right

They know I’m faking and they are lying to me. Playing this game.

That sounds more like delusion, imo

So all your past problems weren’t real? You were never ill?

Just for the record, compliance is like the number one thing that mental health professionals are looking for when they deem us capable of taking care of ourselves.

I really am concerned that if you take the route with them that they are lying to you and that you are not delusional but in fact not sick at all, that they might approach you in a way that could be detrimental to your situation with your kids.

I’m not trying to be inflammatory but I am really concerned now

Depot is often times excessive, but a small dose orally daily is usually required to keep them off your back.

@77nick77 hard to say. I mean I’ve been suicidal. And seen and heard things. But there can be many explications for such things. Plus I’ve not had anything so severe in a very long time.

Well, I know it’s common for schizophrenics to suddenly believe they are faking it even after they’ve been hospitalized and suffered for many years.

What depot injection did they have you on?

Aripiprazole. And I had it today unfortunately.

If you come off the depot, they could end up taking your kids away from you if you lose it.

So I just keep taking something I have no need for ?

Are you going to switch to pills or just stop meds entirely?

Also my kids aren’t weapons.

Stop meds entirely.
