I haven't had an episode since 2011. In 2017 I found a new job (laid off in 2016) and they seem to be impressed with my work so far. They are asking to extend my contract anyway. My brother has gone through some problems (he's diagnosed bipolar but disregards the diagnosis and refuses to be treated), and my mom had a hard time finding a new job (her office closed down as well the year before). But she seems to be happy now and I can't do anything for my brother. 2017 has been good to us.
