Thank you! And I’m glad you had a good afternoon with friends I’m glad yours has eased over time too

Yeah things seemed to calm down some as I got older. Years from 12 years old to 23 were the most rough. Now things have kind of stayed much more stable since then, for the past 5 years. I haven’t been in the hospital for 5 years which is a good sign. Before that I ended up there frequently because when I was manic I’d stop taking my meds, or I’d be so depressed I was basically non functional. I ended up being sent to the hospital in the back of a police car once, was a little out of control. I also wasn’t doing self care and stuff of that nature which I think helps in combo with meds. I’ve done a lot of work with CBT and learning to keep myself healthy by sleeping every night, exercise, meditating, coping skills.
