It took a while. Treatment has been a god-send though. I don't know where I'd be today without it, so getting help has been a relief. I do still have my days where I have difficulties accepting it for sure. There are days where I question if these meds are working, but I try to remain hopeful that there's always ways to try to work through BP symptoms with coping skills, talking to my therapist, medication adjustments.

I'm so glad that after some years of not knowing what was wrong with me and being scared for my life that today I have education on my condition, I can turn to others (like here) for support, and that I do not have to allow this illness to take my life away from me. I have more determination these days.
