@_Kax_x It’s also cruel and inappropriate to respond to someone’s pain with comments such as “did you forget to take your meds?”.

Medication, if any, as not all people with MI take medication, is not designed to supress whatever emotions of mine that you might find unpleasant.

Psych meds aren't a cure all. You can definitely relapse while being compliant with meds and treatment. Please don't assume that someone must have not taken their medication when they show signs of or are in the grips of a relapse. It's ignorant and unhelpful.

@BipolarClubDx This is one of my biggest struggles. I was always told it was lazy to just sit around, so now I feel like I’m bad if I don’t do something productive with my day. There shouldn’t be guilt when protecting your mental health.
