Bipolar neighbors are so annoying because they are completely oblivious to how r-slurred they are

This pretentious strag gives literally the worst advice imaginable

Mood stabilizers produce a looking-glass effect which distances your conscious Ego from your emotions. Since the effect of these emotions is artificially kept at bay, your Ego doesn't have the chance to develop the moral strength to deal with them. Besides, all psych medication (like any psychoactive substance) gradually loses its effect due to tolerance buildup, and so the doctor will have to increase dosage or switch you to some other medication as time goes by.

Personally, I believe any psychiatric medication should be used only as an emergency resource for acute episodes, but never (ever) as a lifestyle of continuous intake.

Since the medication is court-ordered, you might need to comply. Do try to talk to your doctor to reduce the dosage as low as possible, and to remove the treatment completely (slowly tapering down) after a month or two (tops).

As for your existential outlook, you might have to reconsider all those dreams and purposes you mention. Do these really become you? Or are these only inflation of your Ego, ways for you to raise your social status from what (you already know) is a lowly one? If you've had difficulties to adapt to society and stay calm, perhaps none of that is truly feasible, and that's okay: that DOES NOT mean you should despise yourself or harm yourself. Learn instead to accept yourself and discover the way in which you can be happy in this life, such as it is. That's what I did 😊

This BIPOC is telling someone with bipolar that they can just learn to control their emotions without meds. Then tells them to stop having crazy aspirations.

>you dont need meds, simply stop being bipolar
