Thank god for mood stabilizers

I have genuinely been doing so much better ever since I got on them. I didn't even notice how bad my mood would switch before, but now that I actually know what feeling consistent is like it's so strange looking back on it.

I don't understand how I was living like that and thought it was normal. No wonder people always told me I was "just overreacting" whenever anything happened, and now I understand why! God damn

Apparently some people also go on mood stabilizers, stay consistently better, decide that they're probably doing okay and don't really need them anymore, get off of them, and then proceed to have the worst time of their lives lol. I'm probably gonna be on these for a long time (you don't really get rid of a personality disorder that acts like a mood disorder) but I'd prefer that over mood swings so bad that the people around me call me a "ticking time bomb"

I'm glad I'm medicated.
