Sharing our experiences helps doesn’t it? My sons pharmacists is wonderful, I think he’s more supportive, encouraging and keen to help than his doctors! While he is always careful to remind him he is not a doctor he normalises the experience for my son. He also told him that if life is too hard for him without medication that’s perfectly normal too. My husband is diabetic and of course itheres never a thought to discontinue his vital medication. And for sone of us we will always need medication to help us cope with our mental health issues which can have a physical cause like chemical imbalance,
And add your very sad experiences of course you need and deserve support in so many ways. Cyber love from Australia to you.
