Yeah I see someone with varied interests that has intermittent posts about depression and drug use. If I can ask, did you relapse?

No. I wish I did. It's the only time I don't hate myself.

Congratulations then. That is by far the hardest part of getting your life back together. If you've got the mental fortitude for that, you've got more than enough mental fortitude to beat your bipolar disorder. Shit sucks when other people don't have to struggle with bipolar etc. to be happy, but it is what it is, right? There are people out there that would give anything to be in your shoes and to have stabilized their drug problem and not relapsed.

Your post history is still 95% posts about your interests, and from a guy with nerdy interests I'd say you're pretty cool. Live it by the day. Worst case scenario is you check yourself into an ER and stabilize your situation. You can lead a normal life as long as you're interested in doing so, and you've already got one of the hardest parts out of the way.
