No longer can tolerate meds

I'm bi-polar 2. I was not diagnosed until my 40's. The bad relationship I was in triggered my first episode. It lasted about a year.


Been on all kinds of meds. Cannot physically tolerate meds any more because of health issues. Wish I had a true friend.  I'm 


dealing with diverticulitis at the moment. If anyone feels alone or like the things they are going though is too much I'd like to 


know for Ive been there many times and I would love to communicate with anyone feeling overwhelmed. I hope everyone who 


sees this will know they are not alone.

Hi there. Thanks for your nice post. I posted the other day and everyone was very nice and help me. I was having a manic episode and after that post and people support I felt much better and I just want to say it's a good place here. And I wish you luck and if you need any help. Message me or if I can help dog be fine, too.

Hi there. The joy of medication side effects. It sucks. I am have been on about 10-12 medications since I have been diagnosed. It isn't fun. I think being in a support forum is helping a lot. I notice a common theme. We all feel alone. That is starting to shift. I really hope you find the right meds and your health improves. We are here for you.
