Finally some help might be on the horizon, I feel like crying.

sorandOm I can't tell you how awesome this is! I self-medicated for years and it about did me in. The right medication will make all the difference in your life, and without medication, bipolar really is not a manageable or controllable condition. To me one of the great tragedies of bipolar is that so many of us resist going on meds, and have so much trouble staying on them. Support and therapy can help, sure, but without the cornerstone of meds there just can't be any long-term recovery.
