Well I was untreated and in denial about being bipolar then I had a psychotic break. Mine included some past trauma I had been through so it has really been hard to get over. It happened in 2011. I'm finally stable on meds but just gaining too much weight on Zyprexa so gonna be changing my ap.
Anyway, I'm still not over it or back to myself. Idk if I ever will be. But I'm trying hard to accept the new me. I would recommend therapy. Learn some coping skills. Good luck.
