A brief respite from the psychotropic drugs is over
A brief respite from the psychotropic drugs is over. I felt so good yesterday as I was able to read and pray for the first time in what seemed ages. I read a poem, and I actually felt it. As I was walking about doing grocery shopping, I found myself noticing, relating to, and praying for the various individuals as they crossed my path. I have to say that it felt so wonderful to be myself again. I was able to acknowlege the arising feelings that I have kept repressed ever since I realized them a few days ago. Aaah, but then the psychological morons who have made my life an utter hell, started doping me up again--on speed I think, just because my legs feel so heavy and dead, like they always feel when I am on speed. I had to take a math test again, and guess what? My mind is fried, shot, kaput. I aced the test, but I know that I had to work at determining the answer instead of getting it with the surety, confidence and lightning speed which used to be my norm, back in the lifetime when I was still an undamaged, free person with full citizenship rights and privileges. Even worse, I no longer can read with the same facile comprehension that I once took for granted. I had to take a psych assessment test (which I've had to take now a dozen times in the last five years). I am comfortable with them because I am honest, and because, thanks to Logic 101 class, I know how to instantaneously deconstruct ambiguously worded sentences. Well, guess what? I no longer have that gift. I struggled mightily to understand what the ambiguous questions were asking. I am a wreck. I don't know how I am going to be able to pull life off.
