Recently I've been tempted to stop one of my AP's (at least) because I miss hypomania so much and it's been 2 years since I've experienced it.

So a friend of mine told me that what I need to do is mourn the loss of those experiences and also how I was before so much medication (now with poor memory and fatigue).

Does anyone else think of this in terms of 'mourning a loss?' Do you find it helpful and therapeutic to think of it this way? Does it (or would it) help you to move on and stay on your meds?
