Have been having an interesting time of late trying to get back into the swing of life and what is considered 'normal'. Just over the past couple of days in particular I've been feeling very disconnected from people and things, like a stranger in a strange, strange world. Surely I'm not alone in thinking that the world is a really weird place and we're all just babies when it comes to understanding and making sense of it.Went to see a doctor yesterday and he has given me the rest of the year off work and I'm not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand I don't really feel capable of going to work and performing my job properly, but on the other I feel I SHOULD be doing something and that taking the time off is just wrong. He reckons I need to be on medication for the rest of my life in order to live 'normally', but I wonder what I miss out on by being medicated. No-one even truly seems to know how the drugs work on the brain and have the desired effect on behaviour.
I don't want to be on medication for the rest of my life! Am I insane?
