I was there for quite some time. Then I started therapy to focus on "why me". Then I moved out of state and found another therapist and focused on "ok I have bp1 how do I accept it and live with it"? It took me a year then I was ok. I still have days I slip back only when I'm depressed. I think about just the good times I had when I was symptom free which was quite a long time. I was not even diagnosed. I hope the best for you
