About This Quote

Diazapam (that's valium), temazepam, lithium, ECT, HRT - how long must I stay on this stuff? Don't give me anymore! This quote is a good example of the irony and self-awareness that is often observed in the minds of people who have been diagnosed with severe mental illnesses. The speaker in this quote seems very willing to accept the doctor's suggestion that she may need to be put on medication for the rest of her life. Given that her illness is permanent, she seems perfectly sanguine about being stuck with pills for the rest of her life. She doesn't seem particularly upset about being told she will have to take these medications for the rest of her life. But she does seem to be a little annoyed at being asked to start taking them right away.
