You really need to get medications if you're Bipolar trust me. I can't be without medications because I'm not the same person... I'm totally a different person without my medications I can't even control my Bipolar Disorder/Depression Problems (since I'm really emotional too) without medications tried it (I even tried drinking alcohol too wasn't a pretty sight thought I could get rid of my problems) that didn't help either. So I found a new doctor got on new medications went back to school like a technical college graduated and now I'm getting ready to go back too college hopefully online classes too.
So yea, I stopped drinking, got the help I needed, I start my counseling next week, I'm currently engaged, I'm getting ready to either this year or next to move in with him and all that so yea, I'm really so happy. But lately I been having some problems I haven't really been talking to anyone about how I feel I keep thing's build up and on and on until I just about snap.
So yea medications is in need I tried without didn't cope without them, but with them I cope alot better, get along much better with people so yea I'm always there for people, my fiance' helps me to take them so I been ok at taking them without them I'm a person I don't even know.
