I am late posting about your diagnosis. It did throw me for a loop when I got the diagnosis after being diagnosed with bipolar I for a while. It was discouraging for me. I have had the diagnosis for a long time. My schizoprenia part of me is worsening in a strange way. I have negative symptoms of it.

But one thing I am very grateful for is my meds and I never get tempted to get off of them. The price would be too high for me.

You can and will get better but you DO HAVE TO ADVOCATE FOR YOURSELF all the time to make sure you get the right treatment. I am doing much better over the years. You also need therapy and as many support systems tthat you can get.
