A comeback story…

2 years ago I had my 2nd and most severe manic episode. It landed me in the hospital and psych ward for a week. Had to go to rehab and therapy for months. I gained weight. Was depressed and suicidal for a year at that point, and was depressed for an entire year after the manic episode. I was at zero, mentally, spiritually, physically and financially.

Last week I just accepted a job offer paying me over 6 figures at the age of 25. I’ve been sober since February 2023, I’ve rebuilt relationships, and held stable employment in my career since July 2023. I can finally say I’m happy and mentally stable. I’m in the best physical shape and I’m doing better now than at any other point in my life, including the time before my bipolar disorder manifested.

Yes it’s possible to beat bipolar disorder and live a fruitful life. Just wanted to add this testimony here because this sub can be extremely depressing/hopeless. Never give up on yourself. All glory be to God!
