I still struggle with my moods, especially dysthymia. Life is not always great for me Moose. But at least I control my world now, not my illness controlling me as it did in the past. I wish I could glide through life with ease and grace like some seem to, but its work and tiresome at that. Again, I am glad that I am not defined by my chronic mental illness. I hope you find a way to control your illness Moose so that most of your energy can be spent on finding contentment.
