I've skipped meds here and there. I used to take them consistently but I don't seem to care anymore.

I have four first cousins and two of them are bipolar. My sister has just been diagnosed. I've wondered about myself and my difficulties for a long time. I don't know, just seeing who I can talk to.

Anyway, just trying this out.
