Hi bp2012 You came to the right place to vent, to learn, to feel the same as everyone else.

Choosing not to medicate is a personal choice. Just keep close tabs on yourself.

I medicated because I accidentally took a few too many Klonipin and ended up involuntarily committed and was so manic I needed meds. I have been on my meds for about 5 years because I tend to be very irresponsible when unmedicated. Twiddle manic is not a pretty sight anyhoo.

Everyone here is really open and friendly and supportive -like I said you came to the right place.
