akc - One thing I have learned over the years of meds and failures and depressions, is that, much to my disgust, there is no cure. (as yet) BUT, I have also learned how to shorten the bad spells, how to know when they are coming on either as a result of meds not working, or stresses I put on myself, and most importantly how to make adjustments in my life to help myself. I wish, as I'm sure you do, for a long, long period of normal. But when I consider where I was 10 years ago and where I am now - no contest.
You do seem to have covered the med issue, but I had to ask. Obviously, since you are in group, you are working on the emotional side. Give yourself permission to feel sick for awhile. Allow the process of getting better to be just that - a process and not an overnight thing. I think that's where I have gotten into trouble in the past. I am impatient with meds. I fail to notice small gradual improvements. I get immediately frustrated if I feel worse for a day. I'm working on those things.Good luck
