The Reducing the Dosage series is a collection of videos following my journey as I wean myself off of Lamotrigine (Lamictal), which is a mood stabilizer often prescribed for bipolar disorder.
In Episode 22, filmed in July 2020, I realize after a weekend retreat that I am still very much in the throes of mental illness. I discuss my symptoms of having a constantly racing, negative mind and feeling imprisoned by my thoughts; and a deep frustration at not having the skills or space to release my intense emotions such as anger and grief. In this video, I get real with myself and the audience about my mental unhealth, and elaborate on the importance of accepting and admitting to the suffering of life, because the only way out is through.
