hi, i've been diagnosed for quite a few years now, just under a decade, and i've been taken off medication about 3 months ago, i was coping well up until about a week ago.

i'm not sure exactly what makes me tick, but i fell back into old habits and i fear that this relapse isn't just a 'once over'.

my doctor says there is no point putting me back on medication, and my mother refuses to believe there is anything wrong with me, and that goes with my dad too.

i just don't know how to make them believe me and realise there is actually alot more wrong than they suspect, also what are the long term effects of using lithium and coming off of it so quickly??

i'm just utterly lost on what to do now.
