I believe that I suffer from bipolar disorder, and I have seen how difficult it must be to live with and/or be in a relationship with me. I have been told that when someone with this disorder consistently takes his or her medications, life can be fairly normal for all those people involved. However, when one does not follow the prescribed medical regimen, life can be a living hell. Since I have never been treated pharmacologically for this illness, my experience often falls into the latter category.
Everyday is like riding on a roller coaster that can go straight up, drop precipitously downward, and/or go round and round as if it were on a level surface. I experience and witness the pain that the highs and lows can cause.
I would love to hear from anyone willing to discuss their experience with this disorder. Feel free to describe the experience from any perspective that you wish.
Thank you, and I am excited about this topic being the first ever discussed on this blogsite.
I am hopeful that this blogsite will eventually become a central discussion zone for personal stories of all varieties!!!
