Life destroyed by my psychotropic meds

I can't go on with my stupid lack of control over my body thanks to some evil antipsychotic meds given to me last year after my breakdown.

Having to suppress involuntary mouth and tongue movements every day is exhausting - and there is nothing anyone can do to help.

I have had enough but can't give up just yet - they might get better apparently and I have my daughter to live for. If it wasn't for her, I would be even more severely depressed.

Sorry for the mini self-obsessed rant... I am so tired of no-one ever understanding what it is like and how frustrated I feel over the lack of any change or control over my body. 🙄😥

You're right - life is a bugger but it isn't our fault we have these situations or conditions.

Sometimes I do look outside at others who are 'normal' and wish it was me again. I also wish I hadn't taken my good health for granted when it was great for years.

I also - dare I say it - almost wish I had something 'curable' (not cancer, or anything awful like that, but something that wasn't so disfiguring or obvious). It sounds so selfish saying that though. 😳😥😔

Everyone just has to accept their lot, and deal with / live with it as best they can.

Thank you for all your support everyone, it really does mean a lot. 😘😜👍🏽 xxx
