I have yet to see a therapist or psychiatrist. But just knowing there are other people out there that have the same issues makes this journey a whole lot easier. In my daily life I do try to be positive and laugh and joke and take care of my family. It just doesn't come easy anymore as I see my mental instability progressing. The loneliness of being the only bp in my home is painful at times because though my family loves supports and never gives me a negative word they don't understand and I can't always explain. I know this journey is different for all of us and some do need suggestions to make it easier, but for me it's comforting to know after all these years of being so alone and no one truly understanding, I have found a place where there are others that understand and share similarities.

No matter how small, a positive change deserves to be celebrated!
