I don't participate in as risky behaviors that I did at on time. And I don't get as depressed as I used to. I still have some issues with anxiety and irritability. But overall I'm better than I was untreated.

Hi Gayle,
I am really happy to hear someone's success story. I think the scariest thing for me is that I can't explain what happened to me or why I did the things I did, or if they might happen again. I know I'm responsible for my actions, but I also feel out of control at times.
I tried antidepressants and have had mixed luck - they help some but I still hit these lows and can't shake them. I'm glad to hear they are working for you. Perhaps if I combine antidepressants with a mood stabilizer I can be in better shape. Thank you for sharing.
