Although recently it’s been a little off but as she said that’s just the way these things work, sometimes there’s blips or whatever and symptoms will come through. Also I’m not dealing with psychosis level delusion anymore like when I believed my doctor was poisoning me and like the government was out to get me.
So it’s progress

Blue_Bird, this is great progress! I can say that my bipolar disorder gradually eased over time, similarly, after what was a long horrible time in my life. Black and white thinking never does any good. I'm so glad to read that you also see different shades of gray as good.
