I (27f) Was diagnosed with bipolar 2 a few years ago which because of family/religious reasons has been difficult for me to come to terms with. I have since denied medication but now I feel like I am at a point where being unmedicated is too dangerous and not sustainable. I really want to improve and do all I can to be more functional. I am anxious to begin medication and was hoping to hear some stories from people who saw improvements in their life / well being after accepting medication/help.

Please if you can let me know how/if your quality of life improved and anything you think might make me feel a bit more hopeful. 

I hope you all have a lovely day and I look forward to any responses! 


Ps. I’m aware medication will interact with everyone differently but I would just like to hear peoples stories and I don’t know anyone in real life who would be able to answer this
