I can so relate to this and it terrified me. I have seen so many incompetent workers who do more damage. Nowadays I know to get referrals, put my guard up and watch for signs of inept treatment. I have and often still do believe I'll just get worse. The thing I try not to do is compare myself to other bipolars. My AA sponsor was 20 years older and had a terrible case of bipolar. I thought that's my future because it only gets worse with age. Nowadays I try to look at all the ways she is not taking care of herself and think of the advances that will be made in medicine.
