Been 3 months since I was diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder(have also been taking meds since then), and I’m finally feeling its effects.
I’ve recently been to a party, and I actually listened to other people talk, joined in on conversations with strangers, and went with the flow.
I conversed like an actual functioning human being for once(at least that’s how it felt). I didn’t say inappropriate things. I didn’t get ‘The Look’ I got for 22 years from other people when I actually spoke & added on to the conversation. I made new friends.
I can’t believe how easy it has become once my meds started to actually take effect.
I just wish I had discovered my mental illness sooner.
I’m gonna kick my BPD and ADHD’s ass.
No one’s gonna stop me.

Heck yeah! Having a healthy social life is among the greatest perks of recovery that I have yet discovered.
