I wish it would just go away completely so I could live life with confidence and not always feel like I need some reassurance.

In your experience, does NAC also help with stabilising and grounding you? If so, do you think the reduced anxiety is a result or a cause?
Strictly speaking, NAC is not an amino acid, but cysteine is. As a med, it might still work better than just cysteine.
It is possible that some/most with BP have some cysteine deficiency which can cause the brain to stay/be too toxic for normal functioning, resulting in BP or SZ.
