I've never stopped taking my meds, but I have had this overwhelming guilt about having Bipolar and GAD. I feel like why do I feel like I can't get out of bed sometimes when people on the other side of the globe don't have clean water. What do I have to feel bad about. I talked to my therapist and she explained that what I have is a verified medical condition no different than say a broken bone. The difference is you can see a broken bone in an x-ray, but neurological disorders aren't seen so easily. It helps to think about that. I still get racked with guilt and feel like a fraud sometimes, but I just tell myself this is a condition and as long as I'm doing everything within my power to treat it I have nothing to feel guilty about.
