Hey there,
Yes I do take medication, I do like who I am on them sometimes...... When I feel like the 'old' me! Sometimes I wish I was better than what I am sometimes!
I am still battling with my diagnosis 2 years into it. I struggle with the concept of LIFE LONG and the fact I think the old me was better! I struggled to take my medication and am mostly a non-complier however I am determined to comply.... Been on my medication 1 month exactly!!
My support worker has said I am lost in a sense! Identity is somewhere lost in translation sort of speak! I love my highs and go off my meds when I no longer feel super-human..... My mania makes me feel like a super hero. Then I become ill, and have to go back on them which makes me sad.
The side effects go crazy as I stop and start them so much, sometimes I don't know if I am coming or going. My CPN (Community Psychiatric Nurse) has said this is my vicious cycle..... He says I will probably do this forever stopping and starting them..... I am trying to prove him wrong lol!
Do you have a CPN, Therapist who can help you understand your diagnosis? My CPN is really good at keeping it embedded in my head
