MDJunction to me

jaguarandcubs"MDJ is an integral part of my everyday life. Since joining in 2010, I have met so many amazing people. It is truly incredible to be able to share good times and not so good times with others who face the same health challenges. And MDJ has support groups for every condition I have. I don't know of anywhere else that can offer that. I love that I can learn from others as well as offer my own experiences for others to learn from." (jaguarandcubs)

If it were called Cancer, then you would be my friend. If it were called the flu then you would help me get better. But since its bipolar I stand alone.

You are not drunk unless you have to hang on while lying on the floor.

The first time they usually do want to talk about history when you are seeing a new doctor. He should have evaluated your medications though and made some changes in my opinion, but I'm not sure how that works with psychiatrists. Do you have to take a medication where you have to get your blood checked? I couldn't afford to get mine checked because I don't have any insurance and much money either. I'd ask him about something that doesn't require it. I hope that you can get over this hump soon with good results.
