sure I would. I think of my mental disorders the same as I do with my physical health problems.. if I didnt do everything with in my power to take care of, fix my health issues, then my issues may end up being turned into someone elses issues.. just like if I dont do everything with in my power to take care of /fix my MS and heart disease that impacts my wife, family, and friends.
example if I dont take my meds for my MS what happens... I end up in major pain and unable to function, my wife ends up having to take care of me, do for me what I cant do for myself, the house and do her job,
if I dont take my medications for my Bipolar disorder what happens... I sink down into a deep depression to where I isolate myself, cant get out of bed, cry a lot, mood swings abound then Im up top of the world spending sprees, making decisions without thinking about the consequences, early to work one day late to work the next behind on paperwork, clients needs dont get met, or telling my clients to do things they should not be doing.....my wife gets stuck with bills galore, having to handle the full brunt of the house, pets her job and caring for me.
either way its my wife, friends and family that end up being impacted by my decision of not taking care of /fixing my health issues. by doing everything I can to ensure my health issues are being taken care of/fixed or cured is my doing everything I can for my wife, friends and family.
