That’s a total nightmare, especially on higher doses. As for antipsychotics—honestly, if I were still on those, I wouldn't be able to pass a single exam. I wouldn't even know my own name, let alone memorize a mountain of data. Mad respect to anyone actually pulling it off.👍
I really have to hand it to you—managing to pull this off without them is truly impressive. 🙏 I can’t even wrap my head around an exam without them—honestly. When I try to study, my thoughts start buzzing like a swarm of bees in a hive—it's total chaos—and they just ground me back to reality. An oral exam is a whole different beast, though. Without Xanax, there's no way I'd stand before a professor with the confidence of a mountain range, talking away as if I’ve mastered all the wisdom in the world. Last time, I actually talked my way into a higher grade—apparently, I was just debating the validity of certain theorems! 🤣
To be honest—if I wasn't on my medication—I wouldn't even have the courage to show up for my exam... the thoughts are just too overwhelming. It’s like trying to navigate a storm without an anchor; only someone living through it truly understands. 🙂🙂

It’s that feeling where entire days just vanish from my head—mostly the stretches I spent in the hospital. After four months on that treatment, I finally decided to get myself off of it. I've been free from that crap for about ten days now.
Wait—you were actually hospitalized? You mean at a psychiatric ward?? 😢
