There's no shame in relapsing

In case nobody has told you this, it's ok to relapse when you have mental health condition, whether it's bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or whatever else it may be. It is not a failure on your part, and you are not a failure for relapsing. I have been off drugs for a while now, and I've never been better. I've never felt better or had a higher quality of life, but I know the risks of not being on meds (a supposedly higher risk of relapse), and I'm ok with that.  I'd rather live a happy, healthy life off meds and have a bipolar relapse than continue to stay drugged and unmotivated everyday.
