You've done an amazing job managing your bipolar symptoms. I'm especially impressed that you are still working part-time and going to school. Much success to you.
The mood swings are always with me, but with the right medications and lifestyle I've been able to manage them.You're on the right track. The only thing i would add is exercise. It really helps keep the depression at bay.
