Thank you BlackPup - I really appreciate your response - you nailed it! What you said really made sense.

did you ask them to help you notice your moods or are they being annoyingly "helpful"!!!

No, I didn't ask, didn't bring it up, they were just being all "helpful" and "concerned," and it's nice that they're concerned, but at the same time - I really don't like being reduced to a bunch of symptoms, you know??

...in the end - you live the high, you suffer the fall out from your choices and you have to live through the lows... it's crappy on friends and family - you might lose them... but its your life and your call.

Wow, you really said some great things here - I really want to NOT feel like a victim for a change.
Seems like everyone really loves to point out all the terrible things that COULD happen... as if I don't know!!!
You helped me feel like I can be in charge - and you know what, maybe I will decide to take meds. On the other hand, I feel like I'm handling things right now, and that's a choice I can make for myself.

Do you value yourself enough to do what's best for yourself?

Great question! That's going to be my guide going forward - just keep an eye on
myself, and if
I don't like where things are going,
I will decide what to do at that time.
Thanks for putting this so clearly - it motivates me to take some responsibility. That's so much better than feeling like people are trying to look for some weakness so they can step in and run my life - which makes me feel like doing the exact opposite of anything they say!
