omg yes, I was weighed down by this terrible guilt for about 3 years because I thought my illness was my own fault, like I was weak or 'flawed'. My lecturers, bosses and some family all made me feel inadequate, or just plain crazy, when I could not function normally. Its very hard to make people understand that you are separate from your illness. I do not consider manic-me or depressed-me to be my true self. They are extreme and somewhat distorted versions of me which sometimes I have no control over. It sucks that we have to deal not only with this debilitating illness, but also people who abandon us when we need them most. Bipolar 1, BPD, anxiety
150mg Zoloft(setraline), 1000mg Epilim(sodium valproate), 15mg Serepax (oxazepam, as needed)
