Okay, I have been wondered about this for a while..

I take meds(for now).. But even medicated I still have some highs and lows. and I am very Ok with this.

When I spoke to my T about this yesterday ... he said " medications do not fix everything , Bipolar or not you will be up and down , like normal human beings. there is no reason for people on medications to be so medicated that they can not function at all "

Of course there are times that it is Bipolar and you need additional help. For me its the pain and hallucinations that lead to sui issues.

There are times I get pissed off for a damn good reason. example : I got my nose pierced my husband thinks I am too old for that " (I'm 46).. OH hell yes I got Pissed at him.. It's not my Bipolar it's just life.

Every mood I have or feel isn't Bipolar ... Its just life.

Personally I do all the self care I can to help myself.

Anyway , just wanted to know if others feel this way ?
