Hey. I'm sorry I couldn't help giving you a hug up there

This



"And now for my most serious question, with my diagnosis in my middle age, can I get well enough to even remotely acquire a "life", or am I destined to live out the rest of my days with bouts of swinging, depression, mania, paranoia, confusion, and feeling out of place on this planet with no reason to continue to exist? "

Is this really an either or...I don't know. It seems like it. But I think it is maybe possible to find a "life" in their some where.

Could you elaborate on what you mean when you say "life" like that.

I could say that cutesy learn to dance in the rain **** which is probably annoying to you right now but has a tiny grain of truth to it.

But honestly I will tell you that when I am in a badish sort of place I totally feel like you described. I feel like what it the point if this **** if just going to happen all the time. But I have come out of it over and over. I don't know if that helps or not.

Bipolar ****s our brains over. It makes us think **** like that all the time. Don't give it too much power.

As for the therapist thing....Good luck. For this first one view it as an interview. As in you are interviewing the T to see if they can meet your needs and serve you. See if it is a click or not.

I have a lot of opinions on Ts. Big surprise right
