I refused the ADs because some made me feel foggy and slow and some made me extremely angry and uncomfortable like I was trapped in a body that limited me. They also made me unable to access my favorite part of my brain so I couldn't deal with that. I just don't understand the bipolar spectrum or what determines what is mania. My head is spinning.
