It is the third day of antidepressants for my bipolar type 2

I should celebrate, right?
Who thought I'd be in this position one day?

Sometimes all of this feels like a dream.

I am mourning my childhood and younger adulthood... apparantly I had dysthymia and wasn't aware.

And also mourning my hypomania... the moments I felt like I loved myself for the first time. That the resort to intense emotional pain wasn't words of (I want to give up life)... where I felt aligned with my values in general, sharp and quick and productive at work. I went to a couple therapists during those periods (because I felt I was different) but after 2-3 sessions they said I'm off to go cause I had logical, well aligned, wise answers to everything and to every issue I presented to them lol.

I don't know what to wait for in the future... will my baseline mood be better?
Will it be back to the times I always felt low?

There is so much confusion

I hope I'm not exaggerating this whole fiasco.

@TryingtoLava Oh dear. I'm so sorry about that. I am glad you are in a place when you can promise things will get better. You should be proud of yourself.
Issue with me is that nobody knows except two of my friends who are now currently dealing with some serious issues. So basically I have no one to talk this through except online... it is kind of scary at times, but so far I'm only praying I'll deal with it wisely and do no reckless decisions.
@Friendlyperson i get it i never even shared that on SW for lots of years cuz i felt embarrassed and thought peeps would think im 'crazy' then i was like idc im me and hey if you ever feel like youre a danger to yourself call for help theres nothing wrong with reaching out to professionals when you start to drown heres my experience
