I miss the confidence and how independent I was. I think the diagnosis weakened these qualities I had. I was so strong. It's getting better though.

I miss just falling asleep. Wherever I am. At a friend's, on a trip, on an airplane, on the beach.

Just falling asleep and not having to get up and worry about taking my meds.
I take all my meds at night before bed.
Thanks for this!

though it is coming back slowly, i miss my real motivation and desire to succeed. depression saps my ability to care anymore about the hole i dig for myself so often...so now that it is fading away (thank goodness), I'm realizing that i NEED to get back my motivation. I miss caring more about myself.

I don't miss anything as I started too young and have never known stability, whether from severe depression or bipolar. Most of my life has just been about survival day to day. I am actually now the best I have ever been though there are still a lot of things that could be better.

I miss my career, my memory, enjoying the simple things in life. I miss being happy and full of excitement about the future.
