I becam hypomanic on Lithium but also realized I think I had some of those things happen to me before and never associated it with bipolar. I thought it was more of an agitated depression...
But my depression has gotten so much worse in the last 10 years and I felt like I was no longer getting any long term reponses from meds. I was also becoming more suicidal. I think that is why the Lithium was started.
I do not know what my prognosis is for treating this condition but I have read that the risk of suicide for a Bipolar 2 person is 50% so that worries me.
It seems my life will never be normal again. That is very sad.
