There's always going to be some semblance of a struggle for someone with BP. I'm just going to be honest with that. But I have found that paying attention and monitoring my moods, keeping my docs informed, being open to med changes and/or adjustments, you can achieve stability. Sure you will still have off days and some days you may really struggle. It takes a lot of work to maintain a healthy mind but its do-able, so yes, it does get better.
