Pills

With every pill I take… I lose a little of myself It almost makes my life bearable With every pill I take… my mind borders on insanity It almost makes my life bearable With every pill I take I break with reality Pop another pill It will never make my life bearable Pop another pill Just in case... (The side effect of prescribed medication… A vicious circle...that may never end. Sometimes the cure is worse that the cause.)

Not a lot one say except keep posting and take heart from your steady improvement in the way you present. Also take heart that side effects are being taken more seriously by more people in medical profession as evidence mounts. Best regards David in NZ

Oh thank you so much. The stigma of mental health is finally being realized. So many people suffer ...not knowing how to ask for help.

Self medication is an interesting topic. Join me in another glass of wine, dear?

Unfortunately these are pills I have to take...forever it seems. Bipolar disorder. I take them but sometimes the cure is worse than the cause. Thanks for the invite!
