Hello to everyone,
Greetings from down under, I hope everyone should be involved in a smart, sensible discussion with me about getting through this together without meds.
I am a 29 year old male diagnosed with bipolar 2, was medicated on mood stabilisers and antidepressants for almost 5 years.
I’m currently medication free since last August, but a lot has been happening since, and ever, a major instability in my life at the moment.
I would like to hear more stories of those of you who stopped. Would like to make better choices in my life in this regards, everyone who has the thoughts about, please be open and respectful to discuss. I do not intend to discuss with people in this forum that are totally pro and in favour of mediations, I know it’s a sensible topic, I needed the just as you guys did and I’m pretty sure that it’s a lot more easier to manage the illness with them.
I’ve gone through hell back and forth many times, as most of you you’ve done, But I also firmly made a decision to never see a psychiatrist in my life again. They momentarily saved me and ruined my life, the illness, I cannot change, but I made the choice to be free, and now I feel like they altered me a lot.
Are there any of you who are not on prescribed drugs? What’s your experience to share?
I feel I am a lot clearer and genuinely well being better being off them.
Thanks for the attention and looking forward to have good discussions here towards our well being and coping strategies to stay on track. Thanks for the moderators as well.
