Another question: should stability be our aim or functioning despite instability (or both)? That's rather important in solving a/the puzzle, I think. |
With me depression came first.
I think the answer is both. We need to be able to function regardless of our BP disorder. Sometimes we can handle it better than others and that's okay. The puzzle is to stay stable.
