I pick and choose things that works for me, but oh my I can't imagine giving up all the things I enjoy.

Maybe its just me
Believe me, Christina...You're not rambling. Self care is healthy for everyone -- even though I don't always follow this advice. I think it's important to recognize that our BP isn't responsible for every quirk, or "normal"/situational emotion we experience. Medication isn't a "magic cure" for all our issues. Thanks for pointing that out.
Thanks for this!
