I accept that I'm bipolar. Right now I'm dealing with mega anger and frustration and hopelessness about the course of the illness. It seems like it's gotten progressively worse in some ways over the last several years. I just can't get it together. I've been left a shell of the person I was. Is it all just going to keep getting worse? Do you guys go through these emotions?
Sorry for the serious threads. Have had a lot on my mind.

Yes, I go through this, too. I also feel like I am not the person I used to be; a lot of me is missing. It's been 42 years since my first treatment-resistant depression. Once in great awhile, we find a med that works for 6-12 weeks and no longer. Yes, I wonder if I have slowly decompensated in certain areas of life, after all of this time; it certainly feels like it.
Please don't apologize for serious threads. These are serious, life-changing conditions. It takes some serious consideration to get through it.
