I just asked someone i know involved with the mental health services if they knew of a support group for bipolars and he said another client found 1 online, i just need someone to talk too who has the same disorder as i do its so hard living on meds, i guess i'm just expected to be comletely normal to all around me because they see themselves as normal at least when i was out of control i had fun friends and when i was down in the dumps i had friends that would come around and cheer me up and of course my husbands friends who would just avoid me all together. now i have my family and of course theres me the one person i would love to avoid again. being on meds is so different, i'm 34! i haven't been on meds sense i was 18! plus i feel o.k. but i know its cuz of the meds. so i guess i'm asking how do u coupe with knowing you have to have meds and knowing it feels!!!! so different??????

I guess for me I would rather be as sane as possible and stable for my family as to not be a burden.
I try real hard to be as in charge of my self that I sometimes offend my healthcare team...question my pdocs insisting that I do an ekg becasue I take geodon...etc. But I do what she insists because she is a good pdoc and I don't want to lose her.
I don't know how you are feelingdepressed or hypomanic or nothing....what meds do you take?
Hang in there...
bizi things r soooooo different
