Thank you, morethings..............I could certainly use some of the peace you so thoughtfully put out there.
I was diagnosed late in life with Bipolar 1. I do take Seroquel (and Lamictal as well.) My doses have been upped and dropped down several times. This illness is complicated and, as you said, coming to terms with it and feeling better isn't going to happen overnight. But for you, it will happen. I'm confident of that. Your therapist is pointing you in the right direction. That you've felt more positive after just one session speaks volumes. After three, or four, or five.........it will come to you more easily and that's when you will really start to notice the change. It's not easy, I know, but try to stay as patient as you are intelligent. It will happen........all my best, grey
