Well, I am having to come to a point of acceptance - that I function differently on mood stabilizers. That I can think more clearly, reason better, let ruminating thoughts go, and control my mood.
My bad last day or so has been remedied by reinstating a dose of Topamax my pdoc and I were trying to bring down. I was also recently going through one of those times when a patient thinks, "I really don't Need these medications, they're just helping a little. Maybe I'll try to lower the doses and see how I do. It couldn't have been That bad before."
Browsing through a Bipolar book at the store, I noticed a list of things that the family needs to address - one was coming to terms with the Bipolar person being on meds - forever.
As a funny counteraction to Susan's wonderful "I'm not sick" thread, I guess this is an "I am sick" thread.
I don't like being sick.
