I'm scared to think of where I would be without my meds. I was drinking heavily to self-medicate which got me into a lot of trouble. Diagnosed bipolar2 and am taking a pretty good mix right now.
I hate being so dependent on them though. It seems like if I don't take everything when I'm supposed to then I start getting wonky. I love being hyper and despise being depressed. Life can be a joy and then it can close in. But without my medications I'd be a scared, anxious mess!
I sometimes wish I would be happy every day but then no one is.
