Same answer as you. Except, I'd also take out the severe psychotic mania and keep the hypomania and mid-range mania. I don't go depressive much as it is. Three weeks after I quit taking meds, my psych said the meds must be working cause I was looking sane. Heh.
I could probably do okay without meds for a few months. Past that, I don't know. But if I could have just hypomania and mania, I'd be thrilled. I love manic.

I said no. Being bipolar is part of what shapes my life. It's something I was born with. It's wierd that I said no, because there have been times when I've cried my eyes out, wishing I wasn't bipolar. But I don't want it to go away entirely. I like being on meds that save me from the really low depressions and the dangerously high manias, but it's still a part of who I am.
And I definately wouldn't want to just lose the depressions and be manic! The manias can be just as deadly as the lows! And yes I said deadly, because bipolar can be deadly.

That, and I don't know my own limits when I'm manic. 5 shots of Tuaca + 50 mg non-extended Ritalin on Christmas Eve... I have no alcohol tolerance whatsoever. I was talking to people asking them what a pulse of 250 meant. Ack. Yes, bipolar is deadly.
I actually like the cycling sometimes, even though it annoys me other times. It kept me out of the Army, which was my life goal for a long time. But hypomanic and manic are like a legal high. I like the invincible feeling, and I usually don't go manic to the point where I do stupid, deadly things.

First off, Im not a fan of any medication,
Also, as much as being depressed sucks, I ******** love it. When Im not depressed, Im bummed out because I love my depression.
If I could be cured, Id chose not to be,
I am who I am... and no ******** pill is going to stop me.

If I could be cured, Id chose not to be, I am who I am... and no ******** pill is going to stop me. I'm the exact same, except I love the manic more. The only reason I'm still on meds is that if I drop em I get kicked out, and I have nowhere else to go.
