I understand where your coming from ... My belief is ..., When a person is diagnosed its during a horrible time up or down normally ,right? Then you start medications usually so you battle not only the Bipolar but the chemicals your taking ... So its alot of stress mentally and physically .

Bipolar lies to us ... Its just part of the beast .. Yes everyone will cycle from one extreme to another. Some faster or slower.

The age old question of " will I be "normal " again There is just no such thing as "normal" I have a friend no mental health issues and shes always feeling terrible and has more problems than I do.

When will I be "happy" again ... Its all valid concerns ... I use to worry everyday if I was going to be happy again . I stopped over analyzing my mood and realized I was in fact having good days I just spent to much time chasing "happy" when it was right in front of me half the time.

I have alot of bad days too and it sucks and Bipolar sucks... I wish there was no PC because none of us would have a need for place to find support.

Did I mention Bipolar sucks a lot
