Comments on: Don’t ‘Should’ All Over Everything http://raisingbipolar.com/2010/02/17/dont-should-all-over-everything/ Raise: Elevate Or Help Rise To A Higher Position, Raising A Bipolar Teen Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:01:42 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Meg http://raisingbipolar.com/2010/02/17/dont-should-all-over-everything/comment-page-1/#comment-371 Meg Thu, 18 Feb 2010 00:08:57 +0000 http://raisingbipolar.com/?p=1752#comment-371 One of the reasons I like having Rye off meds is that from what I've seen in people who have their kids on meds, everything the kid does becomes about the meds. Every little or big thing that happens is something that needs a med adjustment. It's as if there is no person or living child in the body that should be allowed to have up or down emotions or might have the possibility of having any control over their emotions but rather just a walking chemical reaction. It all just feels wrong to me. I guess, though, that if you take enough psych meds you are ultimately at the mercy of them. The mess they often can create can be intense and that's where you see the repeated hospitalizations. It's a train that gains momentum and is hard to get off of.
