I (32m) have messed up immensely by not realising I had a relapse in behaviour until I've already repeated my mistake.

A few years ago I had reached rock bottom and was contemplating the end of all things. In that time i had the terrible idea of making everybody hate me by behaving in a negative way. Thankfully, I broke down a few days before i was going to go through with it and I got the help I needed.

Since then I've been on the medication to get the store bought brain slime that makes me not do the dumb. Unfortunately for me, since I've been doing so well and kept forgetting to take them I figured, "hey, why not just keep going without them."

Fast forward 2 and a bit months off the meds and I've just realised I've been repeating my mistakes without the rock bottom decision making. What's worse is that i realised I've been hurting a dear friend in the process.

I've taken all the necessary steps to remove myself from doing anything further by removing all methods of contact with them as well as apologising because I am definitely in the wrong. I have also scheduled an appointment with health people to get the ball rolling once more.

TL;DR

Done so well on meds that I stopped taking them only to realise I relapsed into terrible behaviour without taking them.
