There are times that it isn't good, like the last year, but before that all started I'd been doing pretty well for a year or so.

Right now I'm on a new med that really needs to work as I'm about out of options. At least I feel a bit better than I did a month ago.

But what I've learned is that stability is great but it's entirely possible to live a decent life when not reaching that goal of stability. Sometimes good enough is really not too bad.
I think its hard to accept because I just felt like the diagnosis hit me like a ton of bricks. I don't exactly have a support system and just interacting on this site has given me some peace of mind in the darkest period of my life. I just don't know where to go from here or what to do and my parents keep putting pressure on me to get better but I can't control my emotions!
