I also stopped taking my medication, at first it was by accident but now I've not bothered going back on it (my doctor has been made aware).
I'm really sorry you're experiencing these urges. I know that they can get pretty overwhelming and scary at times - almost feeling like you have little control and they're taking over your mind. I promise you can get through it if you really try. Just remember that you do have all the control here and that you're strong. IF you've gone the past few days, or even hours, without doing so then you can go longer.
Thinking about ignoring the urges completely can be daunting when they're so strong. I'd recommend focusing on getting through the next hour. Go as long as you can between each relapse and at least you've made some improvement and can be proud that you've tried your hardest.
Remember that relapse is still a part of recovery and that we are always here to support you. Well done for being so honest and opening up about these thoughts. If there's anything else you'd like to talk about I'd be glad to listen.
Not good but I'll get over it, just on another one of my lows
I am literally full on crying right now

I’ve been asking strangers and I am a very shy person but was desperate anyway a kind stranger gave me some paracetamol
Hope you feel better soon!
How is everyone?
