A Battle of Wits! is what it means. It was a battle getting help for myself. Finally, I was listened to and the rest is history. Juggling a new medication into my daily life, getting used to a new regime and the result that ensued. My mental health improved, my confidence grew and I began to get used to a new way of living. Before the change in meds, I was living like a zombie with no real direction. My hobbies and interests had slipped away and I didn’t want to socialize. Now I’ve got it all back and will strive to get others off that medication if they so wish. I describe what it felt like to be sedated. I explain the process that took place as I got used to a new medication. I was able to think about voluntary work for the first time in many years.
