I'm depressed and then angry and then psychotic (that happens too, I'm bipolar not otherwise specified because I have other symptoms). I'm never manic though, that's the only thing the meds actually do, which kinda sucks cause i can't even feel happy... I've been isolating more and more... I can hardly make it to school or work.. I don't know anymore

Hi - I'm your friendly bipolar outlaw and it's great that you've decided to join us here! I too, am a rapid-cycler BP1, and I too have a history of problems with my medications. And while I know that nearly everyone likes their manic episodes - they terrify me. As I love to tell others, "Your mania is a lot of fun until the FBI surrounds you." That actually happened to me - but because I was determined to be "legally insane" they let me go. It took another twelve (12) years after that incident until my pdoc got the right mix of psychotropic medications to keep me out of trouble. So, DON'T EVER GIVE UP! The dawn will always follow the night.
