If I knew you were going to be offended I wouldn't have bothered to say anything.

I didn't invalidate nor dismiss your experience. I merely rectified your grammar as it was misleading, and this is a poll afterall.

Incase I was somehow unclear, I'll try again. Because I'm nice like that.

You said you were only dxd recently, which means you didn't know you were bipolar whilst unmedicated.

Which in turn means you didn't know what you were battling or that you even needed ammo, nevermind which ammo.

Which obviously means you had a hell of a time. We've all been there, that moment the shyt hits the fan, your world is crashing around you, you can't make sense of any of it and you wonder wtf is wrong with you, and or whether or not you've gone completely mad...

Pre-dx is an ugly ugly time for most of us, its why we go see a pdoc...

Now...
There's a difference between being med free bipolar whilst managing the symptoms and being without meds because you don't know you have a problem, are in denial or refuse to take care of yourself.

People who fall into the first camp fare better than those in the others, because we're effectively taking care of ourselves.
Just without meds.

Hope that was clearer, and up to your standard of posting.

I'm really sorry that you saw reason enough to get upset and retreat to a different forum, but I was just pointing out that there's a stark difference between actively being unmedicated and being unmedicated pre-dx.

I'll stop posting now as I'm apparantly chasing people away from this board and that wasn't my intention. I'll stick to lurking.

Take care
