I try not to think about it. When I started taking meds I set myself a deadline of how long I'd give them a decent go for. I think it was six months. Anyway, it took ages to get the dose right but now it's been a year and I'm going better then I have before, which is good.

When I think "ew I don't want this stuff in my body" I just ignore the thought and take them anyway. Usually after that I chill out again anyways (happily medicated) and don't care anymore.

It took me 12 years of mood swings and 7 years of knowing I had bipolar before I decided to try meds though, I found the concept awful before that. It would be extra hard if t had not been my choice too.
