Thanks, pegasus. I have been off and on antidepressants for over 5 years, and last October got dx'd as bipolar2. Quell surprise! What I find is that the lows are getting MUCH lower and I haven't (I feel) addressed the self esteem issue to it "sticks". I get better, I feel normal, I am as happy as a person with a wonderful husband, beautiful house, stress free (almost)job should be. When I'm down, I feel like the onion skin has been peeled away by the illness to show the "true" me. The self esteem really is that bad, and the drugs mask my true self.
That's how it feels, anyway.
