Depression/Anxiety....never feeling normal....numb...always in pain

My 2 cents, those kpins you are on also cause depression/emotional numbness, you need to ask yourself if you really need them, after that check diet and exercise, then finally its time to examine the bipolar side of it.

Ironically I think bipolar is the last thing to look at it,  your mood stabolizer might be working, but it won't protect against the above issues either. So its just my own interpretation.

Benzos do that to everyone I swear. I've had so many doctors/drug counselors even admit it. (other then the fact they cause a bitch of a withdrawal)

 

Now if anyone actually knew anything about bipolar and how to treat it, that would be nice.

 

The common agreement in the last decade is that  1 in 5 bipolar  patients remain symptom free most of the time. The other 80% do not, and most are also on 2 mood stabilizers (atypical antispycotics included).

 

90% have or had had drug abuse issues.

 

The average life expectancy of someone with bipolar is 20 years less then that of the average person.

 

 

 

So we have our work cutt out for us..  :-\
