I had two major episodes in three years when I was 30. I fought the diagnosis because I already knew a lot about it at the time. The second episode rife with religious delusions lead to me losing my religion. The first episode led to bankruptcy.
The stakes are higher now I'm married and we are fairly well set up. The thought of losing control to that extent again terrifies me. Can anyone relate?
Thanks

I can relate in that when I was in the episode which resulted in my diagnosis we lost the house we were buying. Though my wife and I don't talk about it, it remains a thorn in my side.
Keep in contact with your care team and with us here and we will all do our best to support you and prevent you losing control to that extent again.
