I am as depressed and lacking hope as I have been in months. If my mom were not still alive, I would be suicidal. This things with my meds has my mind all twisted. I don't see an end to one after another of bad spells. This year alone I had a really bad one for all of February till the middle of March, another one for a couple of weeks in May, another two weeks in July and now this -- 4 blah weeks followed now by almost 2 weeks of hell. So 4 times in one year. And that is just this year. I'm spending a fortune on health care. Good health care. Lots of health care. Lots of medication. I try to do some reading to be informed. I go to AA 2-3 times a week, Alanon once. Hang out with friends who have their shit together. But time after time after time I get back to this point. It is so exhausting. I cannot stand it anymore.
I probably need to be in the hospital. But I cannot go -- not at this moment. I have a job that is such that I would have to be in a coma. I picked it -- just the reality. If everything goes well tomorrow, I may do something different Wednesday -- but I've got to figure out how to focus.
First sleep. I am so exhausted. I cannot keep doing this.

Remember that if you decide to go off your meds as you say you want to, you may continue to feel bad or worse. But maybe just for the time it takes to get off and reregulate as you want to. You know?! So just be prepared. Dont do anything rash during this time period. Think about the long term. Think about getting off the ones youre on and going to new ones. Think about getting a new doctor(s) if youre not happy with the one(s) you have now.
