Don't get discouraged if you do have to raise the dose or change to a new medication entirely, because you'll find the med combination that works the best for you!
You definitely don't have to tell the teacher who isn't understanding of mental health, but it was great that you did tell the other teacher that you self harmed, even if you didn't tell her why yet.

Yeah, this is my second antipsychotic. The one I'm on right now most commonly treats schizophrenia so I hope that if the dosage gets upped in the future, the hallucinations get impacted. I was never on a dose high enough with both of my antipsychotics to do anything about the hallucinations. I woke up about fifty minutes ago and I kept seeing small dots of lights outside my window like little dotted eyes that I see sometimes on the figures I see, and I got really bad paranoia that I was gonna get sh0t at or something if I got up or laid back down so I was just sitting there with my heart racing for about 45 minutes.
