Medicine to regulate bipolar ?

The fact is you wont be stable unless you stop the experimental illegal drugs and stabilize your drinking habits to a maximum of one drink/hour. You also have to eat food with your drinks.

It's going to be extremely hard for your brain to have the proper chemistry without the help of prescription drugs. This is because of the drug abuse.

I'm bipolar myself, and honestly, if someone isn't bipolar, no one will understand how you feel.

I was diagnosed officially two years ago and only took the medication for two months, then stopped.

Since then, I've been moody, depressed, sad, angry...very angry, fights with my husband a lot...etc

I tried to help myself get better without medication, also.

I'm finding that's it's almost impossible.

Bipolar disorder is caused by chemical imbalances in the brain, something you can't cure by just 'thinking' yourself better.

I have never gone to the extent of trying to commit suicide or cutting, etc.

I just get very depressed and down and I get so upset because there's nothing I can do right now to get the medication.

I too, do not have medical or health insurance, or the money to pay for it.

I'm struggling and I know why. Because I have bipolar disorder and no way of helping it. I understand where you're coming from.

HELLO!!!

I am BIPOLAR!!!

Didn't you know. I swear what I claimed above is true! Do what you can to get better. It takes a heck lot more than just pills to fix yourself. Trust me. I know.
