Hi there,
Sure, some days we battle along, but then we have our good days too. I think everyone has their own battles, and ours happens to be with MI. I think we are 'Lucky" that we can have meds that make this a lot easier for us to live with.

I also appreciate how my circumstances have made me more introspective. And empathetic - I really want to reach out and help others in a similar position to me. It has really softened my exterior.

Sure, I do battle depression and drive people insane during hypomania - but that's what makes me unique.
