Welcome to the Psych Central community, piano97! I also have bipolar and I can relate to what you've been going through. People who tell us to "snap out of it" just don't understand how real and how debilitating this disorder is. It sounds like you might be going through a mixed episode after your depression. I understand feeling "fine" sometimes and thinking you don't need your meds. Try to resist that thinking. And do get involved in the bipolar board-- and any other boards of interest to you. You'll meet lots of friendly, understanding people who can provide support, good feedback, and encouragement. Remember to be gentle with yourself.
