[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 76720, member: 1550"] The low lows I'd hit after the hypomania wasn't worth it to me. I slept when I was depressed too. Depression is like a broken leg that you can't treat--it's an emotional pain that offers no relief--for me I'd not even have a few seconds of relief and nothing gave me pleasure, so I slept. I didn't want to put my family through that, and I hated being that way. I would never go off my medications. The black depression isn't worth what benefits the hypomania may give me. And my family deserves me to be the best I can be. Sounds like N. may also have stuff going on that's not just bipolar. I know I do. Rarely does a person have only one thing going on. I doubt I'd be friends with somebody who was bipolar and wouldn't take medications--I would forever be asking them why they'd choose to be that way. [/QUOTE]
