welcome....it is a tough world...especially when you have a family who is toxic...I am so happy for you that you have a higher power....I do too...i am glad you also don't see depression as a destructive force....mine has lasted over a year...I am bipolar II...what are your other symptoms...
also so glad you have at least two people you can trust and are not isolated..how is your doctor? what medications are you on? are you able to exercise? are you able to listen to music? how is your sleep now? are there any bipolar groups in your area? how old were you at the onset? I am confused,,do you come from a dysfunctional family or did they become toxic

ps I am sorry this doesn't sound like a warm welcome...I am not functioning that well and had only three hours of sleep last nite :-(
My heart wants it to be warm and help with your feelings of isolation.
