I am definitely opposed to meds, but then when I'm suicidal and pretty close to feeling ready to end it all or at least do something incredibly impulsive to myself, those are the moments I wish a pill (just one...not the whole bottle...) could make it stop so I could go back to being a "normal" person again. Even just for a little bit. But then I'm also thkning "You failure! What cognitive coping skill have you not mastered that's let you to this point? This is your fault!"

Or just hang out here awhile. That helped me to realize that I was indeed bipolar like "these people". Then I realized they are all kinda awesome and some of my internal stigma went away. It's ok. We're ok. You aren't alone.
