Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth." Genesis 9:13

About Me
- Just Me
- Over the years I have noticed that when I have the least hope a rainbow appears. Rainbows are a wonderful combination of beauty, hope, happiness and rain, the product of ugly grey clouds that hide the beauty of the sky. The beauty that is a rainbow can only come with the presence of both rain and sun. Such is life with bipolar disorder. There are good times, there are tough times, and there are rainbows to remind us that beauty will return, sometimes fleetingly and sometimes for a long time. This blog is my story of sadness and hope. Please scroll down to "Who I Am" under Pages to read more about me and the people who populate this blog.
In Case
Please note that any patient experiences noted in this blog are heavily edited to disguise events. Similarities to real persons are coincidental.
Please also know that while I speak as a professional at times, I am not a doctor. I have strong opinions, some based on professional training and/or experience, some based on research, and some based on personal experience of my own variety of this illness. Therefore what I say is my opinion, not a fact and doctors should always be consulted.

Oh, yes, you're very right. I make the ever-so-brilliant mistake of thinking, hey, I don't need my meds, because I'm okay. Total bipolar thinking. Then, I don't see it when I go downhill. Meds aren't the complete answer, but no meds is a total disaster. I like your blog a lot.
Going off meds cold turkey is really disaster. You also get withdrawal effects, which can make you even worse.
the more your adapted to it, the more dependent you are.... the longer, the stronger the effects are if you stop... right!
I'd like to suggest adding a rewording of "Medication Compliance Rule 7787494A" as its own perverse corollary: If you do not take your meds, nothing bad may happen - for several days. And, when something bad happens, restarting meds may not help immediately.
Allen-
Or at all.
LORD almighty.
I forgot to take my meds AGAIN this morning.
I have to go back upstairs now.
*rolls her eyes* I am losing my mind.
