I'm still trying to figure out how to deal with it all. I have been diagnosed at Bipolar since 2005 and am just now coming to terms with it all. I am building a strong support network of family, friends, and doctors. I am also being more attentive to taking all my medications and speaking up when they just aren't working. I am going to a support group held by NAMI once a week as well. All these things have been helping me come to terms with my illness and they also keep me accountable for my own treatment.
