theatre and I are there already. I'm having a very berry tea with crackers, cheese and cherry tomatoes and she's having a joint with some beer and we're both on really comfy recliners on thick pile carpet. we need some help with the decor if anyone is around??
Losing friends I think is part of bipolar. They're not much of a friend that when you're diagnosed with a serious illness, they go away. You will find new ones that love and cherish you for who you are, bipolar and all.

The only thing I can suggest is lots of patience when it comes to meds. Sometimes it takes a long time to get the right combo that will help you...and sometimes that combo works for a long time and then stops. Or, it continues to work but life's stressors send you for a tailspin so you need the meds tinkered with. Whatever you do, please be kind and patient with yourself. This is a tough time for you right now and beating up on yourself, won't be helpful.
Good luck hon, and welcome to DS.
i haven't adjusted to meds yet, but it has only been 2 weeks. i know how you feel. get your hubby to research a bit, and hang in there!
I've only recently been diagnosed with Bipolar and started medication over a week ago. Some bizarre things have happened that have certainly made me question my sanity.
