So, for the past 8 months I've been in what I can only describe to be bipolar remission. Have any of you had any experience with this type of thing?

8 months ago I tried to od on a cocktail of anxiety and blood pressure medication when I suddenly decided I didn't want to die and admitted myself to the hospital. Thankfully it wasn't too serious, apart from my heart rate being dangerously low. I wasn't placed in inpatient, and was released into family custody for a week. I don't know why, but it's like all of my bipolar and anxiety issues just(mostly) disappeared? I was able to stop therapy(not great, I know, but I was really struggling to afford it), and ween off my meds with no issues.

I'm now the best I can ever remember being, and I know I should count my blessings and not poke at such a good thing. But it makes me both question and realize the realness of my bipolar and I can't imagine it's really gone for good. I've had more than enough triggers this year that should've sent me spiralling, but nothing's happened at all.

I'm just wondering if anyone else out there has ever had something like that happen to them, or if anyone has thoughts on the matter.
