It seems many of us on this board deal with chronic illnesses, in addition to bipolar diagnoses.
Hoping for a breakthrough in the depression. Depression makes it so much more difficult to manage other health conditions. The other chronic health issues contribute to depression.
I hope everyone is enjoying the weekend.

I'm sorry you have to go through that. It sounds so very difficult and makes me admire you more.
I know this sounds strange but there was one day I was going through a med change; coming off one and going on another simultaneously. I had one full day of a totally clear (old me) mind as if the illness didn't exist. It was so clear from this vantage point that we're not playing on a level playing field and that handling life's other challenges would be so much easier to deal with. Life isn't fair I know but this just seems cruel.
I wrote a letter from the "well" me to the future "sick" me and enjoyed having myself back for that one day. I don't think we can see on a daily basis how deep and pervasive that cloud really is. I hope one day something comes out to combat it. Kind of like polio long ago.
Hope you're having a good weekend.
