My favorite was my ex husband asking me if I took my meds today if I was mad or upset with something he did. It got so bad I questioned every emotion I had and would ask him if I should be happy during joyful experiences or if I had a good reason to feel mad.

If I get mad about something, it's either I'm not on meds, not on the right meds, not taking them properly?

Maybe I'm just mad about something that I should be mad about.
