@MeghillaGorilla1 I feel you. I do. A brief hx on my BS. I was TOTALLY NORMAL and fully functional until 46, a year and a half ago. I am still struggling with having been robbed of my dreams. I had a home, a nice car, a good job. I live on SSDI with my Dad now. I am penniless except for my SSDI. I worry every day about losing control. That is the nature of my illness and of my delusion; that I am not in control and that any minute I can just go nutso like a freak. I have put on weight, quite working out, stopped doing my hair and make-up as much as I used to and, like you, am self conscious about my looks. I get discouraged just like you.
BUTā¦I hang in there! I take the meds I hate, I get through each day and I hang in there. You can too! I believe it will get better for both of us. Many on here have accomplished a quality life. I havenāt nailed it yet either but I am not giving up. Iām pulling for you.

Iāve been ill for about 19 months going on two years, on medication I have sustained miraculous recovery and almost full remission. The tendency is for the illness to become attenuated later in life, this is a common outcome. I also read that it is more likely to get better later in life for men, females often get worse when they stop producing estrogen. You were in the mid 20s when it struck, right? Such cases are often better than mine, where it struck earlier. Of course you could have suffered an insidious onset which usually anticipates a worse outcome.

We do half this ā ā ā ā to ourselves. Is like a consumers nightmare what help what hope is available to us all but we struggle to us it.
Hang in there it does get better.
I totally get what you mean about the meds. Iāve quit them more times than I can count because of the mental and physical sedation. I know I will never be a useful or productive member of society, and that my ambition and potential has been stripped from me. This condition is too unstable and too unpredictable. Off meds I soon lose the plot, on them I can barely function, a tiny dose is tolerable but only takes the edge off the rollercoaster. 10 years of experimentation and never found any balance. I consider myself lucky in a way that I have mood swingsā¦ Itās easy to say that right now because Iām mildly hypomanic, I can feel it coming on. But I know there are often times when I could have said every word that you have said.
Things can get better. Itās not a total catastrophe. Iām 58. Iāve been mentally ill for decades. It took a while, but I found some contentment.

Thanks again, but the only reason I told you my story is to show whatā's possible. People like me pixel, and a lot of others on this site were as sick as anybody else on here at one time. But with hard work, lots of help, and dumb luck we made it through. I was trying to say with my story that this is the reason why you donāt give up.
