bipolar successful treatment
Why am I so reluctant to take my meds when I know I need?
I'm bipolar and I know that the most effective treatment is medication. I found a cocktail that works for me, but I have a lot of trouble convincing myself to take the drugs. Why do I have a problem taking them when I know it helps?
Honestly …. Because it sucks to need. It may be difficult to accept the need for them. But if you really want to have some stability and normalcy in your life, you have exactly as prescribed every day. You may not have had enough of chaos and misery that comes together with untreated bipolar. Finally, it gets very, very old. I speak from experience. BP I've had since I was a young child but was not diagnosed correctly until I was 25. A 31 … I take my meds faithfully. I can not live the way I was living. I made a mess of everything it touches. If you found a cocktail that works for you, you are very lucky. It is very difficult to find that … Usually, it takes a long time … and if you comply with treatment, your whole life can change for the better. Be really accepted the diagnosis? Do you understand this is a biologically based illness that should be treated the same way as any illness? This is not some kind of weakness of character … there are things physiological involved with bipolar disorder. Can be treated with medication, but they can not destroy. Perhaps it will help if you contract with yourself to do something as taking medications as prescribed in the next two months to see how it feels. I had a really hard time taking them to the right until I started using a diary AM / PM dispenser med. I had to do that for about 2 years before becoming a habit … but over time he has and I feel very good at taking them as I need now. If I doing so, you can.
