I think there’s a lot of people who talk docs into the BP diagnosis and or self diagnosis then go on to say they wished way their illness. BP is more than just up and down moods. And it’s not going up and down in a day, that’s BPD. Medication is a big part of stability but too being on too much meds can keep you in an unstable state. There is coping skills and lifestyle components to stability too, it’s not the whole ball of wax. Oh I don’t know what I’m trying to say. Just beware of those that claim they beat BP by wishful thinking, they were never BP
