I'm diagnosed BP2 (kind of BP-NOS really but that's what it sas on my chart) and have been taking medication for... I think it's 12 years now.

Meds take time to work. Weeks to even make you feel different, months to stabilize, years to "fix" you.

I have something of a cyclic regularity to my episodes (although what I have hasn't been clear cut episodes for a few years now) and I can see it getting better year after year.

So if you're not in a consistent regime of daily medications right now, you need to find one. The way out is through.

(Finally: maybe you can get disability welfsre where you live.)
