I've been off all meds for almost a month and it's killing me.
Now a therapist would say that I am "over catastrophising" thinking in an "all or nothing kind of way". Am I? Now this would be called self doubting.
I'm confused all I know is that being off medicationit really really feels like it is killing me, not in the literal sense of course, I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to die in the next few days but the way I've been feeling, I wish I would.
I hurt all over, my body aches, I feel like I've got constant pressure in my chest, my jaw is constantly tight and feels clenched. I feel like gagging sometimes and I have very low energy.
I'm going to listen to this mindfulness CD again tonight in the hope that it will bring some relief but having said that the whole point of mindfulness is not to want to change anything but just to be in and experience the moment. Ok, therefore, what's my motivation for listening to it?
Thank God that some drugs do help, not enough but they do take the edge off.
