I mean, if they discharge you that should mean you're at least somewhat better, right?

I got out of IP a little over a month ago, finished a program for dual diagnosis a couple days ago, and I have been using the "skills" I "learned"
makes me wonder if I'll ever get better. I know it takes time but, idk, I've been IP so many times and been through so many programs I just feel like I'm broken forever.

What am I missing? It wasn't even better during long periods of sobriety so it's not like I have hope that in x amount of clean days I'll be better bipolar wise, or hope that somehow I'll be stable and not want to use.

...don't even "qualify" for a manic, mixed, or depressive episode based on DSM, just struggling every day for what seems like forever.
