In reply to Getting WELL! To old-timers..., posted by JonW on September 1, 2002, at 23:05:10
I think that is true, when people start to feel better they start doing real life stuff and are on these types of boards less. I try to think that when someone dissapears it is because they are having so much fun feeling better that they have no time to come here. I know I definately frequent these boards more when I am feeling down and need support. I do try to answer others posts when I can offer some support. As far as "does anyone get well?", I think they do. I have. It has been 15 long years of struggle but I have finally found the med cocktail that works for me. I "wish" I could consider myself cured but I know know that is more like "managed". Would I trade these disorders (Bipolar and ADD) for a normal life? Any day of the week! I hear others say, "I love being Bipolar and the creativity that comes with it!", CRAZY is what I think! My only advice to others: Be very aggressive in your treatment, find a doctor who is willing to fight to get you better and is supportive, and never give up.
