Seven years is definitely a long time. Until my diagnosis, I was unmedicated for two and a half years. Both the psychiatrist and I thought that was already a long time.

I have been there myself. The days are very, very long. Not only that, they are incredibly depressing as you have nothing else to do all the time. Try to exercise and/or go to the library. I used to do volunteer work, but they only offer it a few days a week. It generally doesn't run on a daily schedule.
