Has anyone ever had the feeling that they're weak for not being able to control their bipolar on their own?
I feel that way all the time, I feel that I shouldn't have to take medication for just some "brain issue," or "bad circuitry."

A lot of the time, I let my prescriptions lapse because I don't want to fill them, since having to have them makes me weak.
And when I do, then I'm fine for a while.
And then it gets out of my system and I'm not fine.
And then my mom notices (not only does she have to take care of her own bipolar, but she has to keep a watch on my impulsive nature when it comes to my medication) and has me fill the prescription.

It frustrates me.
I've sure gone on a wild posting frenzy since joining...
