I would love to get off my Meds but they have helped. It would be awesome if I was not given a diagnosis that suggests i'm screwed the rest of my life.

I wouldn't say we're screwed for the rest of our lives, but I get your point. Bipolar is kind of a terrible thing to be diagnosed with. But there is beauty to be found in everything, I think. I connect more deeply with other people because of my depth of emotion and my openheartedness. I don't know. Sometimes I feel screwed, other times I feel grateful. I try to lean toward the grateful side.
