Therapy killed my godmother. She took the pills. They made her worse. Then she shot herself.

Well, I tried.

I think that trying it out is a better route to take than assuming that you'll end up killing yourself if you try to get mentally stable. A self fulfilling prophecy can be incredibly destructive, I wouldn't recommend it tbh.

Buh...


So therapy doesn't work cause it didn't work once? Seek some ****ing help! I'm pretty sure everybody on this site at one point or another has told you to get therapy.

Also, you're not a blood relation of your godmother? Then it's unlikely you suffer from the same genetic predispositions that she does which might cause a bad reaction to a specific medication.

If I don't take the pills, and don't seek help I hurt and isolate myself. Therapy and medication helps me, but once I start neglecting my mental health I start to decline and become unstable, suicidal, and angry at everything.

Depending on the situation, medication can do more harm than good if an illness is misdiagnosed, this is true. One thing I will say though is withdraw from medications that affect your brain chemistry is very dangerous, and I've almost seriously hurt myself and disappeared when that's happened. The medication I'm on will also manifest physical symptoms of withdraw too. Everything hurts, you shake uncontrollably, and you start to pass out.

Medication can be beneficial, but it's important to keep tabs on when you take it, when you're out of it, and if it's showing detrimental effects to your mental health.
