I was so happy to have a name for what was going on that I just didn't care. After a few years though, I feel kind of angry about it. There are worse fates. Meds work, for the most part and it is possible to live an "ordinary" life, but it takes discipline, a good Psychiatrist and therapist and most important, to stay on your meds. Many of us reach a point where we feel better and think we don't need meds anymore, when the fact of the matter is that we feel better because the meds are working. Don't fall into that trap! Hang in there.
