Twice a day I have a dilema, it comes time to take my medication. (Risperidone, venlafaxine, simvastatin). I just simply do not want to take it, or at least a part of me doesn't. Its a real battle inside my head to get me to take it. People have accused me of being childish which hurt me as I don't feel like I'm acting as a spoilt brat. I'm simply struggle to accept taking medications. Does this make any sense to anyone?
My history might explain it partly. I was on medication many years back and it caused me to have a stroke. Not good and just might explain some of my fear of taking further medication.
But also do I want to be ill? Mediation in theory is keeping me calmer.
Also, when taking it I regularly get the urge to take the whole bottle rather than just the tablets for that dose. So its easier to stay away from the tablets.
Am I just being pathetic?
It regularly takes a friend of mine to talk to me in order to get me to take them.
I just want to understand the battle and come to a peaceful solution rather than this mini saga every day.
