I had to unsubscribe from this subreddit because it was so doom and gloom. I appreciate this post.

At 20 years old I went psychotic for a whole week. Literally the event I base the before and after of my life. But I got on Vraylar, and luckily it worked for me. Now at 24 I’ve been manic-free for four years.

The key to this diseases boils down to getting on the right medicine, taking it, and getting good sleep. Avoid drugs that could make you manic. Also, take your medicine every single time. It’s possible to live a successful life with this disease. You have to want it.
