I just have to keep reminding myself that I really am crazy (for lack of a better word)

Just make it simple (easier said than done in our brains right? Lol). Just ask yourself: What was I like before meds? What am I like on meds?...if your answer is that you feel stable on meds then you are bipolar and you need them...I understand how that thought creeps into your mind though. That's happened to me a million times too... once you accept that it's something that you have...an illness...and not who you are as a person, you can keep moving forward in the healing process. You just have to accept it. Hope that helps.
