sometimes i feel like i am better off without medicines cuz life is more thrilling but when i am on meds i don't like who i am i like the crazy out of control person i used to be but i know i can't go back to that which sucks then there are other times where i think why should i continue to fight my battle with bipolar why should i try and make my life better i always feel like i will never be happy enough to have a good life everytime i try and be happy i always find faults with myself which bring me down again

I have heard that what you are going through is pretty much normal. We all want to think we can make it without our meds...but when we look back we have to see that we weren't making it so good.
Stay on your meds. nuff said

Just because you're nice doesn't mean you have to be stupid. You know when people are using you. It's ok to be careful, don't bend over backwards for people.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
