Everyone is different they say, but, I can honestly say it does get better. I was diagnosed 2 months ago and this is a condition I have lived with and didn't know I had until then. I had hit bottom...and everything came to a halt. Not only am I BP but have DID and PTSD. I'm on meds now...trial and error in finding the right ones, but it is so much better right now! Things just snowballed and I couldn't snap out of it......I haven't worked since my diagnosis. It's tough, but I needed the rest. Take care and don't quit the meds!
