I have learned how amazing the brain can be. There is so much we don't know yet. Going manic and psychotic gives you an incredible and terrifying view on life that the 'normals' never see. Depression makes me appreciate being well and actually being able to go out, be motivated and have the energy to get off the couch.

Treatment in the form of Therapy and pdoc has been life-saving for me. I have learnt so many skills that really help when needed. Also, when the med gods are good to me I stay stable longer. Right now I have been IP for five weeks trying to find the right meds and finally in the last few days they seem to be working. Being Bipolar is teaching me to be patient, something I suck at normally.
