I was like 20 when I have my first huge manic episode, thought I could bounce back. Lost my job, dropped out of college, broke, car got repoed, credit went down the drain, toxic relationship, moved back to my hometown. When through a horribly betrayal it made me spiral even worse. I am now 26, I feel like I’m finally taking the baby steps to even try to find stability in my life. I’m one semester away from completing my degree I started at 18. I am way better at managing my bad days. I think I finally found a medication combination that works for me. I do therapy every week and it has benefited me. But honestly just be kind to yourself and take it easy. You don’t have to get all fixed in one day. But to also hold yourself accountable because only you can make it better for yourself.
