ATTENTION MENTALLY ILL PEOPLE!

Please take your medication as prescribed by your doctor, even if you do feel better. You didn't miraculously feel better on your own, the medication made you feel better, and if you stop taking it, you will quickly return to your pre-medication state.

Depending on your particular condition, this could be a bad thing or A Very Bad Thing.

Thanks so much,

Lex

Arguing with the mentally ill is about as effective as repeatedly sticking a fork in your eye, but somehow, I cannot seem to help myself. There can be no argument with someone that has no inherent sense of logic. No matter how right you are, you will always lose.

I know this, yet I find myself still arguing with my mother. Why is this? Maybe I should commit *myself*.

Though I personally don't know what you are going through, I do know the situation. My cousin has an almost 20 year old daughter who is bi-polar. She does wonderfully when she takes her meds and crashes when she goes off of them. Unfortunately, there isn't a person in the world that can convince her to stay on them no.matter.what. She feels better so she quits because she "no longer needs them". Then it's all down hill from there!

I'm sorry. I know it's hard!
