Just when I think I finally get a med combo to work, and I feel good (which is really all I'm asking here!)
In comes the S word (stress of everyday life) to throw a wrench in the works and cause a bit of chaos. A cold, a dying relative, a tornado girlfriend, a hard week at work, or all of the above..
Part of this illness goes beyond the meds and the chemistry. I think I need to accept that this isn't going away, that it's manageable, and that it might be with me for a reason.
It's a pain in the ass in some ways to know you're a bipolar alcoholic, but I really do believe in other ways it is a blessing to know your afflictions and to be able to exercise some control over your demons. Some people might wish they could have it so good (Yikes!)
