I'm Ava. I'm a 20-something female living in Ottawa, Ontario. I started this blog to talk about my on-going recovery and management of my mental health issues. I was diagnosed bipolar when I was 13. I am fairly certain the diagnosis still applies, even though I haven't had a manic episode in several years. I certainly still get depressed.
I've been on some sort of medication for my mental issues since my diagnosis. I'm tired of it. Medication has most likely helped me, but it has also caused me a lot of unwanted side effects and has made some folks very rich. I'm trying to go off my meds now.
I'm under the supervision of a psychiatrist, and you should probably consult one as well if you're planning to go off your medication too.
