Saw three different doctors and decided to take the diagnostic of the one who told me that there was nothing wrong with me. So, must I even try to discus the consequences of my actions? I left for a while in an attempt to be normal not just you guys including the meds, but your all can imagine what happen among the way- Mass Destruction… Lol… But going to start meds tomorrow, have read some amazing books among the way and gain some insides on my illness. Now I know for sure I’m ill and hope I never forget it.
I’m a warrior, yes I am indeed
I’m a warrior and I wont be beat
My soul is brave and my spirit is strong
If I trust in God & myself nothing can go wrong

If I can’t at least I must try
I must fight and I must not die
Senses of loneliness and senses of fear
I must vanish and they will disappear

And when I fall I must stand up
Cause there is no sense in giving up
My will is not shaky it’s full of power
I must be strong even in my darkest hour

I’m a rock in the midst of a storm
And the warrior in me fights on
I’m a warrior and I will not be broken
I must hear these words once spoken

Life is not easy and can be hard
But I engage and I play my card
From the deck that life deals me
I’m strong like the oldest tree

No winds can blow me away
My mind is strong and will not be sway
When my head is submerged under water
I’ll emerge back up with so much desire

I’m a warrior and I have the proper attire
My heart, my soul, my spirit and they will never retire
I’m a warrior yes I’m indeed
Like I said I will not be beat

Welcome back. I think we all from time to time would like to pretend we do not have this illness. I am constantly trying to find loop holes in my diagnosis. Just recently I read that if the inconsistency of your moods is worse than the extremes then you more likely have cyclomatic disorder.

But I can't deny that I have been manic before so that speaks for itself that I have bipolar. I am glad you are starting your meds.

I remember you, it's nice to see you again. What you've done, going off meds etc. is not uncommon for bp. We need to experience life without them to prove how much we need them. I hope you are able to repair and make right any wrongs you've done, have hope sounds like you already do. Good to see you, keep posting, good to hear you've read and learned a lot too. I find i've learned a lot being a member here for almost 2yrs, the members here sharing their stories, experiences first-hand is what's given me so much insight, i'm better able to deal with bp symptoms.
