I Am Bipolar

These new meds seem to be kind of working, I'm a lot calmer and I'm not having constant anxiety attacks and RAGE and insomnia and paranoia and all that fun shit you get on the high end, and I also haven't had a single migraine since I started taking it. But it's making me zoned out zombie and sleepy all the time, and I feel unfunny and uncreative. Bleah. Maybe I should back off a bit and try to find a happy medium because I don't really want to spend the rest of my life feeling like this.

That's fucking awful. Nothing like a choice between an endless number of mental health crises and the 'zombie brain' people can get from drugs.

@CountScrofula It’s horrible.

@JustGoneNow No kidding. I'm so happy my wife's medications which can have super heavy side effects aren't... too bad. Some shit but none of the feeling like a zombie stuff.

@SW-User I hope you can find a way through them, just like Odysseus!

@Mugin16 The most important thing is to be aware of your own state, otherwise you can't navigate and will come to ruin for sure.

@SW-User Indeed.
