Hi Jim
there's a lot of our members who are bipolar.
I think there's a lot of stigma about it, but the bottom line for me is people are people. Some of us have medical issues, and while I'm not trying to change your mind, I also think some of us need to take meds.
I don't believe in an 'all drugs are bad' scenario.
My issues are physical but I see it this way - the meds I'm on now help give me a greater quality of life - they enrich my life rather than depleting it, like my old drugs of choice did.
I'm embracing life now, not running away from it
