I had a bad manic episode in Sept 2012 where the police took me to IP twice in 72 hours. After stability, I was a depressed wreck with tons of anxiety for about a year. I found good balance and stability after about 18 months and have been in remission since Summer 2014.

It was rough at first. Hang in there.
