It was bad.
Thankfully, this stay impatient to regulate meds was short and effective. Now I'm on Lithium and Resprodal. And even though it seemed like the whole city of Baltimore was after me, I'm still here.
Granted, I'm in Frederick right now, but I'm still alive. I didn't break any laws, and I haven't spent all my money.
Score 1 for the Jimster!
I'm learning that, when manic, and especially when I'm angry during mania, I must slow myself down, and do one thing at a time.
Score 2!
Please know bipolar meds DO NOT cure my condition. They help me cope with my insane highs and deadly lows. They create homeostasis-- or at least help me attempt to stay even.
The psychosis I've experienced happened WHILE medicated.
I just have a new and more effective support system: Meds, Friends, Music, Art
These are my Anti-Drug
So to say.
Thanks for being patient with me.
Love Y'all

Thanks for reading, but thank you more for caring. Both help me more than I can quantify in words.
