Dear Minnie,
thank you for posting your thoughts about this.
I agree 100% with you.
The last time I was manic was when my old pdoc put me on prozac because I asked about compulsive picking/self injury thing that I was doing.
I had asked about anafronil....used for OCD behaviors.
My whole life I have done some sort of picking on my body and my fingers were getting the brunt of this abuse. I used to dissociate when I would do it and be unable to get out of that spot....Some times I would wear 10 bandaids from the self harm that I was doing. It was awful.
For some reason that just stopped...
I don't do that anymore and can't point my finger as to why it stopped but it did. One psychiatrist diagnosed/labeled me borderline.
So now am I cured of this...?
I think that I need to reframe how I view my mental health.
NAMI focuses us on being ill...sick...
I don't think that I am ill....I think that I am well!
