MDJunction to me

"I was diagnosed 8 years ago with Bi-Polar II.
With no support in my area I searched the web for help, after two years I stumbled on to MDJ.
The bi-polar II group has been my life line since 12/26/2009.

I quit taking my meds several times. The last time I had a major crash from it and it was a really bad experience for me. I made a commitment to take my meds from then on. That was 14 years ago. I had one hospitalization for two weeks, but other than that I've been stable and functionable. I've been working for 4 years. Once I quit taking my meds I had to get on different meds because the ones I quit wouldn't work any more because I quit taking them.
