Man oh man! I am all for drugs. I white knuckled it for years. It was hell and it is a good thing that I am still a live! Suicide urges are nothing to just try and push through for me.
I have a brother that has Bipolar Disorder. No meds for him... It frustrates me to no end. Just lost his job again, someone else's problem again. Had nothing to do with his anger issues I am sure. Then there was the sudden, "I am going to train for an iron man competition and by an $8,000 bike even though I only bring in $1000 a month." Let's forget that I have been sitting on the couch for years and am 40lbs. overweight at this point.

Anyway, I have tried for years to be supportive and encourage him to stay on meds long enough to see what they can do for him. It is frustrating, but his life.
