Long story short - i was diagnosed this year, been in the ward for 4 times and finally found the meds that work. For the first time in my life i’m comfortable in my own body. There’s a lot of adapting to life to do but I believe i’ll make it. For the first time in my life my emotions are clear and not explosive, my mind is quiet and my body feels like mine. When i talk i hear my voice and i know it’s my voice. I can go for walks and i even feel like i have enough energy to have a job. The only thing thats weird is that my personality is changing, or more like coming to life. My friends are looking at me like i’m doing something weird just because i started doing things differently. For all you bipolar people out there who are still looking for the meds that fit you, i know it’s hard, but don’t give up. At the end of the day, it’s worth it! Keep it up!
