That so many people with bipolar disorder do. As soon as you feel better, you stop your meds. Why do you think you were feeling better? You want to be normal, but I have a news flash for you. You are not normal, you have bipolar disorder. The only way you will ever function is to take your meds, daily, every day, for the rest of your life. Period. Until you are willing to accept this immutable fact, you will continue to have problems. You cannot go off and and on meds, you cannot go off your meds when you feel better. Your meds are what make you feel better, and without them you will not do well. Period.  

Sorry to sound so rough, but reality is not always a nice thing. And that is reality. Meds or being controlled by your disorder. Your choice. And you are the one who gets to make it. No one else.
