Your story sounds very much like mine, I lost my best friend 2 years ago we had just returned from holidays together. She passed away.

This was 2 years ago, I went into a manic episode and then crashed into depression. I got a dx of mood disorder, but I never followed it up. Then in October this year another manic episode and hospital. When I got discharged I didn't follow up and stopped medication. I crashed into the worse depression and finally accepted my diagnosis.

I am now on medication still waiting for my mood to return to baseline. I am in and out of the depression it can be a big struggle at times. Its very difficult accepting BP1 as its for life.

I hope all works out for you, I find this site brillant. Its great for information, others experience, advice and best of all to vent.
