My emotions were all over the place, I had disorders, it did get sorted out but I had to work with people. I'm in a much better place now. There's no magic cure, but it's manageable. And everyone has something or other they need to live with.

I am prone to mood swings anyhow, but I was familiar with relapsing, and that can really mess you around mentally too. One of the main reasons why I stopped for good.

Early in the piece I had support numbers (provided by mental health services) I could call 24/7 even if I just needed to talk and get things straightened out in my head, it helped because a lot of the time I wasn't thinking rationally. I'm one of those who isn't obviously ill, I can function okay by being a dual person until it all catches up with me, I try now to do something before it gets to that stage. A few times I was put onto inpatient, it's a bit hard to assess how serious this is, if you are distressed or confused, but hope you reach out for help if you need it.
