More whistling in the dark...

Well, the good thing about LJ is that I get to make new friends.

In other news, being bipolar sucks big rocks through bendy straws.

Then again, I'm not sure I want to go on Big Scary Bipolar Meds(TM), especially after kimberly_a did all that research on them and found out all those scary things. ^^;

*wibbles unhappily*

Then again, I don't know if I want to spend my life alternately suicidal or bouncing off the walls. It's not like I'm actually *happy* when I'm hypomanic: I just can't sit still.

Fifteen minutes until my lunch break, and Third Empire tonight. Woo!

so freaking true!

Yeah, I found out lots of scary things, but they are primarily caused by being stupid. Not drinking enough water, ignoring the doctor's recommendations, not going in for the regular blood draws, not paying attention to early mild overdose symptoms ... that sort of thing.

As you know, I personally decided that even my fairly mild bipolar problems were worth braving the meds. I'm willing to be cautious about the meds longterm ... I'm not willing to be quite this wacked longterm.

It's a decision that only you can make. Either way, you know I care and wish you well.

Thanks. :)

My main problem is that ever since I stopped the Cognitive Therapy (the program has a 12-20 week duration), I don't have a meds doctors anymore, not that the one I had ever actually spoke to me -she just wrote prescriptions and talked to my therapist once in a while.

Now I just have a surly Hungarian doctor who specialises in adults over 50 who doesn't really listen to me as a general practitioner.

*wibbles even more*

I'm such a wuss about doctors it's not even funny. ^^;

Sounds like you need to ask around about recommendations for a good doc, dear. I found my meds doc through my usual therapist, and he's great. This whole experience would be a nightmare without him.

Yeah. Sadly our health care system sucks ass right now. :(

Thanks for everything. :)
