I struggle , like we all seem to.

I think mine is mainly due to decades of not being diagnosed and treated ( think over 4 decades, traced it back to age 6)

Once diagnosed at age 43 and on the Med Merry Go Round.

I struggle with all cognitive functions , sometimes it’s better than other day but I feel downright stupid at times.

So a healthy mixture of bipolar episodes and meds

Do I want to dump my meds? Yessssss , why don’t I ? I want me to be the best me possible for my family and myself. Every major episode I have takes longer to recover from. Knock on wood I haven’t caused a path of destruction in my wake except for just inside me.

I wish things were different. But it is what it is.

I’m grateful for today I was able to find all the words I needed. Tomorrow??? Might be a verbal disaster.
