You’re not the first manic depressive and you won’t be the last. You came here and you posted that and you were going to get comments, which mine was the least sugarcoated. I don’t know what you come from like you don’t know what I come from and I’m not gonna argue the toss about it with someone who bites at people who are strangers who reach out who don’t have to do a damn thing. Other people are going to read that you said meds don’t work just to function in a shitty life, can’t be putting that message out. Your life is not their life. What do you think mood stabilizers are? The clue is right there. The take you from drowning to treading water. They’re not going to “fix” your life. But hey, I don’t know your life, I don’t the people who surround you and what influences you have but I hope you can get some kind of help that doesn’t involve you not being here.
