Crashing and burning, complete with hallucinations and hospitalization, does little for one's self-confidence.

I've got a regular psychiatrist, and new meds that seem to be working. They make me dizzy sometimes. That side effect is supposed to away in time.

But, as usual, I'm a terrible judge of my own mental state.

I feel like I've got a lifetime's experience faking it, and I do, up until the point I go over the falls.
