I have decided to except MY bipolar. What I will not do (if I can help it) is take meds.
My only son died in 2000 from taking meds for his mental illness.
Needless to say I am a little spooked about meds.

Last week I saw a therapist. For the first time in my 15 year mental health history, I was honest with a therapist.
It went well. She said we were going to see if we can use everything at our disposal for me to get better WITHOUT MEDS.
I decided that if all else fails I might consider meds.
I never tried honesty, intense therapy, support groups, etc.
Let's pray these methods will be enough. If not I will get all the info I can about any drug that is suggested to me.

For now, I thank GOD for a place like this to share with people who understand.

BE WELL EVERYONE HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!!!!
