I do! Still working as a Paramedic for the last 20 years. Guess how long my Bipolar has gone undiagnosed for?

Suffice to say I wish I could do something else. I’m still not operating how I use to before my psychosis and hospitalization but I’m able to maintain it. Finding stability is a daily challenge.
