Bi-Polar since 2009.

[rdclmn72]

I was first diagnosed with severe depression in 2000. I was diagnosed as bi-polar in 2009.
I didn't receive effective treatment until 2011.
I had a problem with my mood stabilizer no longer being effective in 2015. It took months before I was on something more effective.

At the moment I am doing well. I am now working again after so many years not believing I could work again.
I do think about the past realizing that the symptoms had always been there. I am also aware that I could have a relapse, but I believe God will always have my back.

It's just a matter of getting the medication right.

Stress can override your medication, so be on the alert for that.
