Anti-psychotic Tw

****Trigger Warning****(mention of self harm) *****

So the reason I ended up in the group home was because I self harmed to the point of needing stitches at least twice a month. I was sent to the State hospital for 8 months because of this and my family would not let me come back home. I then ended up back in the hospital for it. My reasons for doing it was not mental reasons but because I was not getting help for a physical illness and it was the only way I knew how to get help. So instead of being put in the state hospital again they decided to try a anti-psychotic with helped with the physical issue. So know they think it was a mental thing but it wasn't. So I am forced to take this med or be homeless. My psychologist said that the anti-psychotic I am on helps dull the alters chattering. Why would a anti-psychotic help that? I have actually only noticed the chatter since taking this med.

Disclaimer: we might react unusually badly to anti-psychotics (I don't know if this is normal or not)

We were on anti-psychotics through most of high school because of a misdiagnosis. They did not stop any chatter. We actually got more unstable likely due to the stress and the fact that the side effects were terrible for us.

Same here. Ap made us way worse.

Thanks guys
