43 yr old Female, diagnosed about 10 years ago as bipolar type 2.

I’ve tried every antidepressant under the sun as well as multiple types of antipsychotics. Unfortunately I haven’t found a medication or combination of meds that allows me to function as highly as I did before all this began.

Me then…Went to nursing school full time, worked full time, and raised kids all at the same time, while earning awards & recognition.

Me now…so moody and paranoid that it’s nearly impossible to work more than part time, raising 1 preteen & my family has me so anxious that it’s hard to spend much quality time together

Every day feels like a routine of taking handfuls of meds, that make life “ survivable “ at best. I’m not having, nor have I ever had thoughts about harming myself or anyone else.

I just know that I used to be outgoing, quirky, funny, sarcastic & sassy. Now I’m dull and flat and no one wants to be my friend anymore.

Anyone have any advice or tips?
