Wish I was you

Some people only have one major episode. Some can go years between episodes.

I can see where having a diagnosis without symptoms could feel weird. But that diagnosis may be your best friend if you fall apart any time later in life.

You may be aware of what is happening before or as it is happening. You may not...but you have the word to say to someone in an emergency or a really bad spot. Many bipolars are treated for depression for years before they get the right diagnosis. You will be able to avoid this.

If symptoms return, but are less extreme, you have something to work with.

I am happy for you that your doc is looking at a med free future for you.

Everyone is different on the relating. I relate to much of it because I have a very good memory, but am well most of the time....thanks to meds.

Can't say I relate to being Harry Potter
