I can read journals written 40 years ago and I would have been struggling with depression (bipolar) back then, just as I do now. Yes, it's so. damned. hard. to live with a mental illness. The differences for me would be medication that definitely helps most of the time, more or less - and, to a degree, techniques I've learned in therapy. But the relentless struggle is still primary in my life.
