We’re on, we’re off, we’re together, we’re broken up, we’re up and down, and up and down, just like my disease.

There is no pill for the choices you make in your relationships.  We can’t blame our mental illness on our inability to stand by our word.  You want to break up?  Do it.  Period.  Done. Next.  You don’t?  Then stop playing the tug and pull game with your mind.  Don’t find yourself going back and forth and back and forth cause your meds will do what they can to monitor your moods but ultimately, it is up to you to monitor your behavior and stand by the choices you make.

It… is… not… easy.
