MDJunction to me

"It means that finally I have someone to relate too. that I'm not the only one with these kind of problems. it really feels good not to be alone in this. I've made some good friends. I appreciated the support that I have found here at this site,

where as other parts of my life I don't get.
Thank you for being there & creating this site.

The cure or the disease?

Which is better, the cure or the disease?

After doing research i found that the side effects of my medication are causing me to get sick. Even though i haven't had a manic episode in a long time, i've gotten more depressed, sleep to much and am having other health problems.

So i have to wonder which is better. To be sick in the head or sick in the body?
