My immediate problem is that I stopped taking my bipolar/depression meds ~3w ago (narc mom died). Is it ok to just resume them now at full strength?

I’d rather not discuss this with my doc, as he will start the pseudo-psychoanalytic stuff, and I’m really not up for that right now. My plate is over full: I am an only child, narc mom’s victim, but also her executor/trustee, her primary caregiver for 8 painful years, grieving in a complicated way — also mom to a 10 y.o. who is grieving herself & needs me, wife to an alcoholic & never-medicated bipolar man, and, to top it off, now unemployed with mom’s newly discovered back taxes. It’s too much, and I just want to be on my meds ASAP. #Offmeds #Grief #narcissiticmother
