I Have Bipolar Depression
I feel sad, but I can't cry....I think it's because of my bipolar medication.

The meds are just horrible. When I take the meds I can hardly even feel my junk, it's hard to even urinate and emotionally I'm totally flatlined. I used to be a very funny person. People have said I was the funniest person they ever met but now nothing. The meds are as hard to get off of as any street drug, it's ugly.

@Pitchblue Same for me. I quit cold turkey in 2012. Didn't eat or sleep for 12 days, had a psychotic break.

It's that kind of thinking that helped create the stigmas attached to mental illness. It's the belief that the afflicted can just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and think positive thoughts. You say we get to chose the life we live. And I agree. At the very core of depressive disorders is the inability to think clearly about any of the choices life has to offer.

And what makes life choices even more challenging is are the physical symptoms like chronic pain and chronic fatigue are part and parcel depressive disorders

If you feel you need the meds, I understand. I get by without them now, but it's not always easy.
