You can view it as being a slave to meds or view them as your servants. I need meds to function at my peak, but I need food, sleep and exercise and no one views me as a slave to them. I need oxygen too, tried to go without it one, not a good idea. I suppose the point I am trying to get across is that you can view your need for meds as a negative or just as a necessity.

As for the job, perhaps it's time to look for another job. People who don't struggle with bipolar, or other illnesses, get bored and tired of companies and staying longer than you are interested can lead, as it did in my case, to poorer performance. Start looking for a new position and give your two-weeks notice when you find a position.
