Bio
Hi, my name’s Fran. I’ve been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. I have a tough time communicating and connecting with others, so one of my goals is to reach out more and to be more open and honest about myself. I’m currently in the process of switching from high school to college. My psychiatrist also acknowledges that I have symptoms of BPD, ADHD, and autism, so guess who has to get a brain scan here soon!

...See more Sorry if this isnt in the right thread!! >_< So Ive been taking antidepressants for a year now as well as some other medications. However, theres been a lot of times where I feel as though its just better for me to stop taking my medication, not because I feel like Im doing better, but rather because I feel the need to sabotage myself in a way. Ive mentioned this to my psychiatrist and she assures me that the medication Im taking wont stop working for quite some time after stopping them, but I cant get that thought out of my head. Along with that, Im constantly worried that for whatever reason Im not going to have access to my medications, either from my parents withholding it or due to the meds no longer being covered by my insurance. The medication Im taking isnt even addictive, its just me obsessing over the fact thay I havent felt okay in years, and now when I am feeling okay I feel the need to strip that away from myself either from me feeling like I dont deserve it or feeling like Im not being authentic when my authentic (non-medicated) self is hardly able to get through a day without crying. I just need to know what to do and how I should think, because I feel as though the therapists and counselors in my life are trying to attack me for wanting to sabotage myself rather than trying to figure out why I feel as though I need to feel crappy all the time.
