I often feel very affected by illness both BPII, and other conditions. I am definitely impaired by them. Like ~Christina, I was either depressed or hypomanic. I was working 2-3 jobs or I was in a paralyzing depression.

I can no longer do as much as I used to do on a daily basis. some days are good, others not so good. I try to accept the current version of "me," as much as possible.
