No tests for this "illness" they determine what drugs (toxins) to give you based on absolutely nothing!

[BipolarStateofBeing]

@electrickabuki Well although there may be no empirical tests it does not mean mental illnesses do not exist. Many suffer from these illnesses every day. You're right about the meds, there is no way to know what will worrk except through trial and error. But lots of people do well with meds, and I have found meds that work for me as well so I am a believer.

[hotron26]

i had bipolar since i was fourteen stop taking meds at 18 years old now i m 26 i just handle it on my own

[BipolarStateofBeing]

@hotron26 Sometimes that can be hard to do. That's great if you are able to manage without meds.

My gf went off her meds and slept with a homeless person,brought him in our bed and had sex while I was home and all that time she knew that I was home but had sex anyway, encoutered police and was taken by ambulance crew and dragged in the hospital psych ward. It was the confirmation she needed that she has bipolar and she needs to stay on her medication. Of course, it's different for everyone but that's just her story. Remember, you can not control your brain when it misfires.

@tkathryyn Wow what a sucky experience for you. Hopefully your gf is better and getting treatment now.

You need to get off the pharms and get on the raw food lifestyle with herbal teas. For real.

I am labled Bipolar 1 Severe with several other disorders and phobias.

I am fine without medication.

My advice is just to keep doing thins you enjoy!

I have ADHD to (I uploaded some videos of me doing MULTIPLE things at once lolz)

I much happier without meds... They fucked me up...It's terrible...the side effects will hurt you..

[bitcyknw]

stop taking the meds.

[urbanmessiah1776]

Get off the pharmacutical posion. I have had this for a long time. I do not medicate. You can grow to understand what is going down and adapt to it well to some degree anyway. Lifes better of the flat line life you have with the druggs. Fuck them I would rather be dead.

[CordeliaOphelia]

im relating to this well at the mo!

[SlumberCloud]

You look just how I feel

[ladyhrist]

...yeah, med adjustments suck. I'm usually useless for a couple of days afterwards.

[judutchinski]

see!!! this is exactly why i got off them years ago. I was depressed at the thought. but i don't know whats worse. feeling shell shocked from getting into arguments with people. Spending excessing money, maxing cards. Or that. I don't freaking know what to do!!!

[MrGoodartist]

I feel like that , I look at the pills everyday and think , these pills basically control my personality , if I stop I become someone else who is different and very ill.

@lovedubpt if if this woman slits her wrists because of your sound advice, how would you feel?

[hh73]

@tkathryyn could not have said it better myself.
