Default Re: My version of the \"Try to get me to stay in school\" thread. Advic

(I just read the summary, one thing that jumps out at me...)

If you haven't, I would talk to a psychiatrist because with some medications, you end up worse than you were before you started them if you go off them. It is very common to be on meds, start feeling good and think you don't need them then go off again. In fact, everyone I know who takes them has done this at least twice.

I would check with a psychiatrist about the specific medications you were taking. (Note: not a psychologist). You may have already done this, but if not, I think it is definitely worth it.

As to the question of whether there is a problem with not liking to go out, I have no idea. I would say if you don't like hanging out with your friends, you may be happier with the alternatives. Personally, I like to have time alone, but I also like spending time out. The general tone of your summary makes it sound like you were happier on the medication.
