Just can't explain the dx away. Everytime I try, I find more evidence of a history that supports the dx. Being categorized with this disorder is a hard pill to swallow. . . Always seems to be followed with.. "And no matter how good you feel, take your meds. . . "

I think you summed it up, alright. I have learned that staying on my meds in a key way to stay well and out of the hospital. No fun. I hate being bipolar but I get by.

Hi UpDownMiddleGround, I'm sorry you're feeling "dragged down" by your dx, but just remember you're way more than just a dx
And you'll fit into so many other "categories" too, "categories" you can feel really proud of/good about........whether you're sensitive, caring, reflective, even whether you have a "good" taste in music .........whatever those "categories" are.
And the dx with the meds for the dx........well they should really give you the help to be you, right?? Which is going to be much more than any one/two/three............particular "category/ies".
