So I went back to the original pharmacy and I begged them to please please check the bottle and fix it, because I already paid for this medication and I just need my pills. ONE lady was very apologetic while the rest of the staff could care less, laughing amongst themselves.

They gave me enough (OF THE CORRECT) generic pills to last 10 days and told me they'd source the rest for me since I already paid for them. After all this running around I was starting to feel light-headed again, so I made a beeline for my yard.

Not only did I take the wrong medication, I also missed my correct dose for the day. Mood stabilizers aren't meds you can just stop taking immediately, you have to wean off of them, and my body didn't have a chance to do that.

My brain chemistry at that point was just a slurry of confusion. I hit a debilitating depression, which was probably exacerbated by the trauma of the whole experience. I couldn't eat, couldn't shower, couldn't function.

I felt gutted because I had worked so hard to maintain my mental health, and now it was shot, and it wasn't my fault this time. I ended up self-harming for the first time in 9 years (BIGGEST REGRET) and made terrible choices by picking fights and just being a bitch.

After a couple days my love @VikkiG_JA came by and helped me get up, eat something, take a shower and get myself in order. Back on my correct meds, I was able to level out again and resume life like a normal person. Unfortunately the damage over that weekend was already done.

It was a little traumatic to deal with, and it took me a while to feel comfortable behind the wheel again. I know it was pure muscle memory that got me home that night, but what if it happened again when more people were on the road?

As much as I wanted to forget it ever happened, I'm always torn between sharing my story, because I wish I'd read a thread like this before this all happened. So check your meds people, and if your gut is telling you something might be off, listen to it.

Supremely grateful for my support system @LB_Kojo who came in clutch all the way from Wales when I didn't know who else to ask. @rosheikagrant and @JKavJA for continually checking in on me, @VikkiG_JA for physically getting me up, and to the others who I won't/can't tag here.
