when i joined this online community i felt relieved that i had a place to post ideas and feelings i have regarding my life as a psychiatric patient with bipolar. when i write it is not a plea for help. when i write it is not to threaten anyone elses situation or to undermine their need for medicine. i understand and respect the need to be for medicine and myself have been helped by it in the past. i use this venue to explore what i cannot with friends and family. to have an open, non judgemental diologue (and sometimes monologue) regarding the various ethical and moral pitfalls related to changing ones own chemical makeup. all of you are strong. whether on meds or not for doing the same and finding this online community. i see that there is doubt about my not being on meds; ive got friends family therapist psychiatrist and coworkers up to speed with this. i am not reckless nor in denial. but i am sometimes in need of some ears.
thanks for listening.
