There is a difference of opinion on whether Bipolar becomes worse or easier to manage as we get older.

My Pdoc, T and I have talked at great length about this. The both agree that my Bipolar is getting worse not better and because my first signs started at age 6 I am more than likely to get worse more frequent episodes both Depressed, Manic and Mixed

What I have now as opposed to being diagnosed at age 43 is a huge tool box of coping and grounding skills. For me they are just as important for stability.

My decision to stop meds is due to a variety of reasons.

So as much as I wish it were true, No my Bipolar is not lessening as I age.
