What Dan said. ^^^

Yes, you will be happy again. I wouldn't have believed it either after I was diagnosed bipolar this past winter in the middle of a big, fat, ugly mixed episode, but it happened. I'm still not where I want to be, but I've come a long, long way in these past 8 months and have learned a great deal about myself in view of the illness and how it made me do so much of the crazy stuff I've done in my life. You will learn too.....and then you can rebuild your life, one day at a time.
