I have learned to cope with my bipolar throughout the years. Through medication, therapy, and trial-and-error/ It WILL get better. You just have to make the conscious effort to better yourself and discover the right coping methods. It's hard work and not easy at all, but in time you will feel so much better. I don't have as many breakdowns as I have in the past. I have cut things and people from my life in order to continue my journey for healing. In all honesty, it will never go away. You just become better at adapting to it. I wish you luck.
