bipolar alternatives
Diagnosed with Bipolar should i consider meds?
ive been told i have bipolar disorder.. .but im reluctant to take meds as the dr has suggested i wonder what would happen if i didnt take medication and should i be wise to think about taking it….or is there anyother alternative suggestions? much appreciatedx
I have bipolar. At first I refused meds. I was afraid of them and I denied I had bipolar, it all sounded too weird and I’d never been to a psych before. I didn’t want to hear anything he had to say. And I pretty much told him that and walked out of his office.
But it got worse over the years, I practically lived in some level of depression and sadness most of the time. It became a way of life and I didn’t expect anything else, I didn’t know anything else.
Then would come the flying high mania, it feels so good in the beginning, but its so crazy in the end.
After several crisis and suicide attemps I started to listen to my doctors and research bipolar and how the medicine actually works. I was amazed.
It was so simple. I suffered all that time from a lousy chemcal imbalance that could be brought back to normal with two pills a day. OMG, I was in heaven to be stable and start feeling good to get up in the morning.
I appreciated the most basic things again because I had been in hell and didn’t know it.
Now, I had to get into therapy too, and just honestly and humbly dump the past, I just vomited out the truth about everything – that had to be done too. It was hard and I was scared and I trembled for over 9 months but we got through it and I got better. Good luck, it’s there when you’re ready.
I Hate My CPAP Are There Any Alternatives
