Hi,
>A friend asked me if the side effects of my meds were really worth dealing with, and it brought up the memories of being very close to suicide, and being more self-destructive than I am now.yes. you are right about this. i think back to the very reason that i "agreed" to start meds was that i could no longer ensure my behaving safely and rationally and not doing either 1)something stupid and ending my life or 2)something planned and ending my life. that's when i knew it was time to get some help from medication. i am still self-destructive at times, but i also don't worry myself as much that i am an actual danger to myself. my meds. seemed to have helped that considerably, and i'm extremely grateful for that. Thanks for the reminder.
