I'm trying to recover from my recent mental health hospital stay and my mind is fighting me every step of the way. I can't caught any kind of break right now. My brain is haywire. I was re diagnosed with bipolar and they say I have rapidly cycling mood swings. I knew something was up with my brain, but I thought everyone had these mood swings. It was just so normal to me...something I have had to deal with as long as I can remember. I didn't want to admit to myself I had bipolar. I read up on it and gained knowledge about it, though and I think they are right in the diagnoses. It is just a hard pill (literally) to swallow. To know that there is no cure and I will always be this way is probably the hardest part to accept.
Question: How do you all cope with knowing that these mood swings are always going to be there and there is nothing you can do about it?
