I am very low functioning when I'm depressed (which is a lot of the time) and have been unable to hold down a job for several years.

I have not managed to reach a point where I'm stable yet. I've been on medications and diagnosed for 20 years.

I've had short periods during that time where things seemed normal but largely I've spent the vast amounts of time depressed with short burst of hypomania in between.

It's inspiring to see that so many people are able to live a normal life and it gives me hope that maybe someday I can too. It can't come soon enough… I'm 46
