Thankyou ticomsin for this thread. Over the last decade I have had more up than down episodes but your post reminds me of the fragility and danger of the down and what goes with depression and suicide.
After an episode of pychosis and hypomania I’m on my way down but I hope the slippery slope reaches a plateau even if it is a new low level line on the graph.
The new podc has offered me the same as the previous pdoc, nothing new so I’ve come to consider that modern psychiatry can offer me no cures and nothing new in 10 years.
I hope that there are new research breakthroughs each day!
I remember the last times I had depression they were must harder to treat and took a lot of medication , different medical opinions, a truckload of patience and much love and support from family and friends.
I wish you care and support as you work towards regaining stability
