Well re-introducing myself. I'd come here awhile ago, but I'm afraid my behavior wasn't the best and I got cranky about what seemed to me like people not accepting my anti-meds (for myself) stance.
I was diagnosed bipolar 1 with rapid cycling with OCD tendencies about 10 years ago. I'm also a recovering anorexic. I haven't been on any meds for about 9 years now. I went through various things, ended up on lithium with a doctor who didn't believe me I was having problems and wouldn't consider my dosage, maybe another medicine, so I just took myself off lithium and discontinued treatment. (Yes I know you shouldn't take yourself off medication :D) While I don't always do so well, i work to control my moods with a mixture of diet, exercise, reading, faith, and forcing myself to just go out and socialize sometimes :D. I still continue to cycle pretty hard, rapidly and my dh jokes that I have "personality shifts" instead of mood swings because of how often my moods change and how extremely
