How do you feel about your BP? Is your whole life dedicated to staying stable, or is BP just an aspect of your life? Does focusing too much on BP reduce the quality of your life?

You've read my mind. Right now it feels like it's taken over my life to manage my symptoms for the past year or so. Pdoc appointments are more complex now. Before it was like 'everything is good, here are your refills' whereas now I'm going through all my moods and giving more explanations of what is happening. Meds are consistently being adjusted, tapered off, added, whatever. As far as reducing the quality of my life. Not so sure. I use being around my sister and her family as a wonderful distraction. But the anxiety comes right back afterwords. And I continue to chase stability again.
