It sounds like you have a good life now with people you care for very much As you have said you have been off and on your meds so many times and it has been a hell of a journey so I would like to ask you if you had taken responsibility for your on well being do you think the journey would have been easier
I would suggest that you might research bipolar and ask your doc if just taking an anti-depressant might cause you to tip over into mania I know when I was first told that I had clinical depressant I was put on an anti-depressant and it kept tipping me into manic episodes After I was told it was bipolar I had and they added a mood stabilizer I did much better I have taken control of my bipolar and I manage it
It does not manage me I still have bumps in the road but I am very aware of the signs that something might trigger me into an episodes so I try to avoid those triggers I have learned cognitive behavior therapy on my own but if you have access to a therapist it would be easier to learn this
Just wanted to try and help you to not let this be a hell of a journey for you or for your loved ones You owe it to yourself and to the ones who love you Good Luck to you
Would love to see you keep us posted on how things are going for you We are here to give you hope and support Gigi
