i definitely feel that psych meds cause permanent damage, if thats what you want to call it.
i mean, i didn't used to have anxiety...i would get manic but not shaky and i never got to where i couldn't be around other people. its a struggle every day to socialize and even then, i'm not comfortable. i blame the medication.

well, i'm really all over the place...lol
some days i'm really depressed and irritable due to being really depressed...sad, hopeless, hate my life, etc.
some days i'm really happy...and of course, i don't feel bad those days but of doctors would insist this is a 'problem' also.
a constant issue that is now resolving as i'm working really hard on it...my temper. i have a pretty bad temper for various reasons. (have to say it wasn't nearly this bad before medication) really just a short temper. i found other, more herbal ways to deal with it that would take the edge off a bit just so i could deal with it and now i'm getting pretty good.
i wrote in another thread i do kundalini yoga for stress management.
when i do this in the morning my temper is under control completely the whole day...it really makes me feel a deep sense of well being.
i also take better care of myself now. and i think part of it is i'm getting older...
i've been dx'd with borderline personality disorder too...heard this tends to resolve itself over the years and much of the time by the 40's people are quite a bit better...though i do like to take credit for my one on one psych therapy....with myself. LOL
