It was a fun ride, I wish it could have lasted forever. I feel like it's not fair...it's not fair to the people in my life that I've gotten close to and that fell in love with my personality while I was manic. How can I expect them to also like me when I'm not manic? How will I ever find a career that will suit both sides of me? I'm so frustrated with this half. I feel like it's going to ruin everything that was great.
Anyone else feel like this?

I have a business w my wife where in I work alone for myself and therefore can not be fired. Meds (13 of them) did not work for me so gave up on them. Meds help many of us. Best I think combined w GOOD Pdoc. Might help you? I hesitate to give advise as other mental things make me a poor reporter... anyway been off meds 10 or 20 yrs and just tough'n it out through lows which seem permament and sailing through highs on short short cycles. Hope you'rs are at least more predictable. still new to this place and so far see it as an oasis
