isn't it bad enough having one diagnosis? but to be cursed with multiple...I have five of my own so I know where you are coming from. it is a real struggle to get balanced out on meds. it took me years and a lot of patience and tons of med changes but we finally found the meds that stopped all that rapid cycling. life seems relatively normal now...just have to deal with anxiety and ptsd which i feel can be a breeze without having all those mood swings going on. so hang in there. be patient. really advocate for yourself when the meds aren't working and insist on change. and things will get better. hang in there.
