Sorry MechaGostman, that seems like it must be pretty challenging. I hope you can continue to get effective treatment and who knows, maybe there'll be something better.
I have Schizoaffective Bipolar type 2. The upside is I get both Bipolar Awareness Day and Schizophrenia Awareness Day. I have much to be thankful for. For many years, well actually about 2 decades I couldn't find any effective treatment for the auditory hallucinations. In just the past few years I found something that helps that doesn't sedate me and also doesn't cause weight gain. In a way, I might be better off than someone who immediately found something that helps but that has severe side effects.
Also I have barely ever had delusions or intrusive thoughts.
Not to mention my depression isn't bad at all, and much of the time I'm not depressed. Probably I would say most of the time. I've rarely been hypomanic, which is like elevated mood and confidence and stuff but not as bad as the full blown mania that people with type 1 can get. Really it would be interesting to see exactly when I did have that before the last time to have had the diagnosis for so many years. In the records I mean.
