I don’t want to sound overly nihilistic, but this is kind of inspired by a post that got a lot of interaction on here about someone looking to learn more and hear “success stories” 

But as someone who’s struggled with this disorder for a while, and done the carousel of medications to find what works for me, I don’t think “success stories” necessarily exist. A “success story” kind of implies the remission of symptoms of this disorder are linear, and they aren’t. There’s always the days after the so called “success story”. It’s good days and bad days, some of which I feel more mentally ill, and some of which I have little to no symptoms at all. It’s a day at a time.
