I wonder about world events I will miss and small joys in life should I get well again. Rarely the depression/mixed is so dark that I cannot see any light. At those times I am hospitalised to keep me safe till I see some light.

Exactly, my nephew is the one person on this earth that does not know or understand this diagnosis. I never felt judged by him because of his innocence. It's refreshing.
It is sometimes hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but it is there. Sometimes you just have to work harder to find it.
