Often, some part of meds aren't just for us/how we feel but for how we relate to the rest of the world. Disturbing other people in our lives is not okay.

But I mostly wonder why you told us this? It wouldn't occur to me to mention if I was/was not taking my thyroid or asthma meds. But if I don't get out of bed because I don't take my thyroid meds, that impacts my household/husband/those around me because it means they have to take more care of me because I'm not taking care of myself. If you upset other people's lives or spend their money when you're hypomanic, it seems a bit selfish to put how you "feel" against your actions (literally disturbing others) by not working to get as best a meds mix as possible.
