Suffering from Bipolar??

...No, I don't consider it "Suffering" - I consider it "Living with Bipolar."

There are so many people who bitch and moan that they have a mental disease. They use it as a crutch to act like an idiot and/or crazy. I have chosen to take the high road. I talk about it openly, I am NOT ashamed to say that I have a chemical imbalance. I have had a many, many ups and downs over the last year or so, but I have a wonderful doctor who has been very supportive and helped me every step of the way. Not to mention my amazing family & friends. I cant imagine how my life would be without the support of my circle of trust.

Within the last week I have had to have my meds increased due to my anxiety flying high. I was proud of myself for admitting that I was having "manic" moments and went into the doctor right away. He gave me a shot to calm my nerves (Since I was scratching myself so bad I almost drew blood) I started my new meds and I can already feel a difference.

I want to thank those of you who have stood by my side through EVERYTHING. I will forever be grateful for the friendships that I have built over the last few years. For those of you who have been a victim of my attacks, I sincerely apologize for possibly hurting your feelings or making you feel as if you are not important to me, because you are! Everyone in my life will always hold a special place in my heart. <3

    I think it's so important for you to understand what is happening in YOUR body and responding the right way. So many people live in a state of denial because they are fearful or ashamed of how OTHER people will view them. You don't bitch at people who are blind for wearing glasses do you?? You just need the medication to balance you out like a person who can't see needs glasses to help them with that. Period. Proud of you K...keep on keepin' on.
