I struggle with this all the time. Right now my meds have been working pretty good and I'm feeling good. Hopefully I won't forget to take them anymore since this is the most level I've felt in a while.

Also, I met someone who has bipolar and they said something that has really stuck with me.

We shouldn't say we are "med compliant" because it sounds like we're forced to take them. We should use med adherence" because we choose to take the medicine for our benefit. (Basically using a positive connotation with taking medication rather than a negative!)
