Guy,
Sometimes I really do know how you feel, I keep going but I don't really value my own life and haven't for a long time.
All I can say is try everything there is to try, including drastic things if necessary.
I would even consider things like ECT or Deep Brain Stimulation if there was a chance that they would work and that the benefits outweighed the risks.
I do sometimes think about killing myself, it's a nice fantasy, the fact that I could maybe take control and end my problem once and for all but then I usually latch onto something else, like another pill I can try or new treatments on the horizon and I keep going.
Having said that if I didn't have Zyprexa to take when I really really felt awful then I don't know what I would do.
Denise
