So I haven't been on since 2010(just before i met my hubby)
and I'm a completly different person!
I refused to be a bipolar victim yes its there yes I have to keep myself in check make sure I eat well,sleep well you know the basics and take my meds lol. But it doesn't control me I recognize when manic sysmtoms start to pop up or depressed and I work on getting myself out of the manic or depressed area by my own mental and physical choices...I'm not a victim..and I don't think anyone who suffers badly daily with bipolar are victims they just need to find what works for them.
