I’m feeling great! My last episode was a psychotic episode (bp1 w psychotic features) that started around the beginning of the pandemic. It was hell. I spent 10 days in the ward and when I came out, I felt like I was reincarnated. It felt so good to survive something so scary. I’m happy to be doing so well but sometimes I worry that an episode is right around the corner or my meds will stop working. Anyone have that same fear?

Mostly just wanted to post to get responses from others with bipolar because when I tell my friends and family I’m doing well and haven’t had an episode, I know they’re happy for me but I know they don’t fully understand the disease. Especially my one cousin who always tells me, “I get hyper sometimes and sad other times. I get it.” Smh.
