My anti-psychotics just make me agitated which makes me in a constant state of mania if I'm not depressed
I have a review tomorrow from the psych ward and if I tell them they may stick me back in.
What should I do?
Are you on Abilify? They'll probably just switch you to some more sedative anti-psychotic. Abilify made me kinda amped up too.

What is the psych ward like? Are you opposed to going back?

>Are you on Abilify?
Yes
Is there something I'm not supposed to do on these meds? Like eating too much sugar?

It's nice. The staff the nice. I get to study computers and maths most of the day and talk with crazies and this autistic guy and his mother.
It's also very restrictive like no internet or anything.
I have this compelling urge as if I have to fuck myself up and go back. I feel like I'm going to hurt myself or someone else otherwise.

You don't seem opposed to going back, so tell them the truth. If they send you back, it's not that bad and it'll (probably?) help you, if not then that's fine, too, right?

Antipsychotics probably cause brain shrinkage. If you don't need to be on them try to get off of them.
