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.

I certainly do not feel your exaggerating. I appreciate your honest feelings and not being afraid to tell us. This way we can pray for you and I truly believe that if you keep taking your meds for depression and all, they'll have time to kick in and do even better for you so you feel like you have a more normal life. I'm proud of you for taking these steps. Keep up the good work, I'll keep praying for you.

@LadyGrace That works better for me than the original Serenity Prayer. Thank you for posting it. 🫂
