> I'm seriously thinking about dropping my meds. This crap just doesn't seem to be going anywhere positive anytime soon. I'm fat and tranquilized and I *should* be suffering some sort of psychospiritual anguish, but...I'm not. I'm just chain smoking and hoping, a vague sort of way, that things "get better."

> I just don't know HOW to quit. Abilify is so strange and strong, I just don't know how to taper off this stuff w/o ending up in a psych ward.
>
> I also don't like how I get treated as a mental patient. I'm actually receiving some of the best (and free!) mental health, but still...its kind of degrading, having someone check your behavior and thoughts to make sure you're "OK". Seriously?
>
> A part of me wants to suffer again."Mental Patient Game" is an apt term for it, and I applaud your realization and goal. At the risk of being repetitive (I've mentioned it in other threads), I suggest reading "Commonsense Rebellion", which describes the "Mental Health Game" quite well.
