The problem with anything that works immediately is that it is a temporary fix. Basically the way I see it is whether your self medicating or on meds you’re in a drug induced state. Some drug induced states make us feel better by numbing us, but then compromise our ability to function either long term or short term, and others give us the ability to function but don’t really make us feel better (mainly meds). Ultimately what drug induced state you want to be in is up to you, but I know for me I’m trying to find something with balance. I don’t like getting extremely depressed, and I make poor decisions when I’m hypomanic. Even on meds we will cycle, but the highs won’t be as high, and the lows won’t be as low (at least thats the idea). “- a friend
