You're not alone here as far as dealing with meds/side effects goes.
It's just that for most of us we know what are lives are like UNtreated and come to treat meds as a good thing overall.
So please don't hesitate to start whacking away at the process of finding the right meds for you, ok?
The right meds won't leave you feeling flat but will take away the dangerous highs and lows.
Mine were life-threatening and relationship destroying... and I am better off with a mood stabilier in my life. Even met my husband and got married AFTER I was finally evened out!!
Hang in there - come back and visit more often, ok? There are people here who would benefit from your input!!

hi ruth

I know in myself that my meds are a good thing its just when i was on meds before my now ex husband took advantage alot hence the reason he is now ex husband so i guess i am getting a littloe bit paranoid about it all the partner i have now is extremly understnding and patient god he needs to be to cope with me at times lol. But im scared i am pushing him away i know i need help as the ups and downs have got to the point that i cut both my arms up the other night. my partner does not understand why i did it andd i cant explain to min why so i guess i am also scared of pusing him away to far if tht makes sense.
thanks
