Do you rapid cycle?
I was apparently rapid cycling sometime late summer/early fall. I still feel like I'm learning everything. Like you said, it's like learning to live a whole new life again. I still sometimes deny what's happened (mostly because my mom doesn't want to believe it), but at the same time I have to learn to accept it if I want to feel any sense of 'normalcy'. I've struggled with depression since at least my late teens and now this

I hope you hear from your pdoc soon.
