Depression sucks, but there's no hypo/mania without depression. I can actually tolerate *some* depression as long as I get me some of that hypo/mania. I love the euphoria. It's addicting! But mixed? Not so much... but the euphoria... yeah, that's the good stuff.

I do, actually. I don't like that my writing has taken a hit... but it's OK. I work as peer counselor (to unstable people with mental illness, in a lock down facility) and as a result, there's more than enough drama in my life. I'm happy to finally be able to managed my money, my time, etc. I'm happy to finally be on the right doses of the right meds, and to be able to sleep regularly. I still have some iffy moments, but I'm frequently cited as one of the most stable people those around me know. Especially at work. I certainly don't miss depression... at times I used to miss the highs of mania, but the massive crash of consequences that comes with it just makes it not worth it.
