I've heard that the older you get, the worst your untreated bipolar gets. But, once you get old enough, the manic symptoms tend to disappear and it's mostly about depression. Not here.

I'm just as nutty as I ever been, if not worse. I use to be able to take my mood changes in stride, both depressed and manic, but today, it's crippling. Is it because I know that I'm bipolar in nature? Could be.

Even on meds, I can tell that I'm beyond normal human living. Meds have giving me the stability that I've never known. I'm addicted to normality.

I can tell though, I'm a lot worse for bipolar wear. Sometimes I feel like my brain is melting. How about you? Bipolar is a progressive disease without a cure especially left untreated. Treated or not, I can tell I'm worse then ever in my life, so I'm doomed to be eating pills forever.

Do you feel the same way?

This is an edit...I'm now 47, bipolar since birth.
