its hard for me to accept any diagnosis. i was accused of malingering--making stuff up, basically--when i was younger. then it was supposedly a severe personality disorder. then schizophrenia. now bipolar i, although some semi-local 'professionals' from back in the day are vocal about it 'really' being schizophrenia.

so...yeah. my perspective right now is that whatever ails me is responding to some fairly standard psych drugs plus orthomolecular. honestly, my goal is to taper off the psych drugs one day. i've had quite enough.
