You are very blessed to have overcome it!

I once was in remission for almost 8 years and then it came back with a vengence; during those 8 years I felt that I had either been healed or was never sick. After those 8 years, I had a psychotic break. Now, 3 1/2 years later, I still suffer greatly. I am bipolar 1 with psychotic features. I don't intend to discourage you but I just want you to be careful of the possibility and danger of another episode. Self-awareness is a treasure in this illness. My therapist, who I care about a lot, made it clear to me that she will see me only if I am medicated. She says that too many people believe they are well and then have a psychotic break after stopping meds.

I wish you well!
