I'm so much better than I was even a year ago, but especially five years ago. I was so messed up, having mixed episodes and not knowing from one day to the next what was going to happen. Now it seems like those times are long in the past, and it's because I'm well-medicated. Every now and then I need a little tweak, but I've basically been on the same ones since 2014 and they've worked miracles. I am very glad not to be where I was seven years ago when I was first diagnosed, that's for sure!
