Hi Rand,

All I can offer is that you say you have recurring episodes. Therefore, I assume, you have periods of elevated Mood? At least by following your regimen of doing everything right you stand a greater chance of cutting the duration of this current episode and returning to a balance where everything is easier.

I know things become increasingly difficult, plans become harder to follow, personal care suffers, but you truly seem to have a handle on that aspect of your life. Be proud of that and use it to your advantage.

Dave.
