Hi Sunshinesworld,

I am so glad you are posting!
Thanks for this thread!

I have also read that Bipolar gets less intense when people get older. I do not know if this is true or not. It may be true for some and not for others?

In my case (BPII), my depressions are severe and very prolonged. I have not gotten better over the years. I have progressively gotten a bit worse. My depressions are very difficult to treat and have been referred to as "treatment resistant."

To be fair, I must tell you I also have co-occurring chronically painful medical conditions, which most likely complicate my overall picture.

As much as we all experience some of the same things, we are each different.

I hope you get lots of responses.
