I’m BP1 and finally got diagnosed and medicated. It’s been a while and I think it’s helped me a whole bunch. I feel much better on a day to day basis but lately I’m just very sad as my perspective shifts. I look back at things through this lens and it seems like I see things more for what they were.

The wreckage I’ve learned to ignore seems glaringly obvious. I feel like I’ve been stripped of some defense mechanisms and emotional coping by the medicine, if that makes sense. It feels like I have to stare these things in the eye, as it were.

What was it like for you, leveling out at first?
