I'm med compliant because my behavior when I'm not on medication (or the proper meds) is highly disturbing to me. And as I've aged the physical toll on my mind and body is enormous. I like who I am when properly medicated.
I miss the manic euphoria, but I sure don't miss the anger/rage that follows the euphoria.
The severe anxiety with tones of depression is unbearable. I cannot live with it.
My psych team really works hard with me; I want to cooperate with them to show my gratitude.
Meds help me sleep.
