I looooooove that kitty picture.....it's like my daily Squee!!

I can so relate to the feeling of being "cured" right now......the last two weeks have been the most stable of the past two YEARS. I'm stoked about life again, thinking I may just survive this after all.

BUT---and it's a huge 'but'---I didn't get here on my own. No, it took a combination of four medications to get me to this place, and I know without a doubt that going off them would result in disaster. I also know that "cure" isn't in the bipolar lexicon; I'm in remission to be sure, but I'm finally convinced that I won't get rid of the BP just because I'm good about taking my meds.

This may not be the right answer for everyone; all I can offer is my own experience and self-knowledge. There will probably come a time when things slip and slide and I'll wonder what the hell I've gone through all this for if the BP is just going to act up again. But thank God, not today. Not today.
