Is Medication Really the Answer?

I have to admit, over these last few days I've had pretty much an awakening. If you follow my blog you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't been reading I suggest that you read the prior post. So from this I ask myself this question: "Is Medication Really the Answer?"

I can admit, when I was first diagnosed with bipolar/depression I was in a deep and dark place. I was telling my friend today that it was the darkest time of my life. I didn't want to be around anybody, I didn't want to see anything, I just wanted to be by myself. Well to do this I pretty much locked myself in my room for about 2 months. I have to admit even though those were painful days, I knew eventually, I would have an awakening. Well I did. And boy was it better then anything I've ever experienced.

Now times are different. I'm not dealing with the same issues that I was back then. Today it's a completely different issue. So maybe it's not the actual medication that's going to make the difference, it's dealing with the issue at hand.

Just food for thought.
