By going out into situations and being able to cope in them (which meds and therapy helps greatly) will eventually change the structure of your brain so you can deal with them without meds and therapy. Some people who have SA due to a natural chemical imbalance in their brain will always have to stay on meds I think. Where's tyler, doyathink and electra anyway?

Even if my condition brought somebody down though it doesn't make any difference, I've never chosen to be like this. I have a mental illness.

Thank you.

Stop what from happening, taking meds for the rest of my life? Well obviously what I need to do to stop that from happening is to see a therapist, and hopefully the combination of getting out there more, therapy and meds will change my brains structure, so then I'll still be okay when I stop taking meds.

They don't turn you into a drooling monkey. Getting out there more, taking meds, making an appointment with a therapist, seriously considering joing college and/or getting a job (something I never could have done before), planning on asking the doctor to start taking these meds at a higher dose when I next see her. Reading some leaflets from the college on what corses there are when my sister brings them over. Why wouldn't it? There's some things you have to wait for. No, the advice as actually helped me. Watch TV instead.

I've heard they can be taken for the rest of your life. Well anyway, hopefully I wont need to take them for the rest of my life.

*Yawn* Whatever. Go troll someone else Oh, and I've marked you.

The only ones that appeal to me are the auto body shop, mechanics shop and paint shop, but usually those sort of places are filled with bullies.

Why can't I?

I'm taking meds and I'm waiting to get a letter for an appointment with a therapist. And also I'm going to see if I can feel any better through the meds. When I see the doctor next I'll ask if I can take what I'm taking at a higher dose. Like I said, baby steps. People seem to forget that I've got a mental illness.

Yeah I do. I was thinking maybe I could do something in space and exploration because it sounds safe though.

Nothing, what can I do?

Hmmm, I don't think that's true. A car mechanic, a race driver, I dunno.

I honestly don't know what I want to do yet. But you're right about concentrating on one thing at a time, some people on here are wanting me to put the cart before the horse and get pissed off because I can't do.

I ain't got a clue. Maybe I'll wait and see if things improve more with the meds first, it's not like the world is going to explode next week or anything.
