Encouragement for the group here tonight

I just wanted to post my story again and hope that it encourages the group collectively to have hope.
I had been treated for major depression and anxiety for more than two decades. I had some success with my treatment; I was working, in a relationship, and stable enough not to need the behavioral health unit. Medication management and therapy improved my symptoms of depression and anxiety, although I was still depressed and anxious.

About 7 years ago, I was diagnosed with Bipolar, Type 2. I started a new medication and continued therapy. To sum it up, I'm still a work in progress. I, however, no longer consider myself depressed or anxious.

I am posting this tonight to encourage you that it may, in fact, get better. In my case, a med change, therapy, and prayer basically put me in remission. It is possible that symptoms can be better managed, and that you too may feel relief. I posted tonight to make sure everyone started the new week with a ray of hope.

Thanks for reading, and have a great week!

Please reply to OP with your best messaging effort for Democrats to reach America.

I like Sen Kelly. "I do not support paying for tax cuts by increasing (health care) costs on working families."

ipsrt

Interpersonal and Social Rhythm Therapy (IPSRT) is a form of psychotherapy specifically designed to help individuals with bipolar disorder manage their condition by stabilizing their daily routines and social interactions. It combines elements of interpersonal therapy (IPT) with a focus on social rhythm disruptions and their impact on mood. By improving social and circadian rhythms, IPSRT aims to reduce mood episodes and improve overall functioning.

Has anyone recently visited Cicely, on The Cusp of the New Alaskan Riviera?

I only ask because it is now streaming on prime.
Also, there is a new podcast called Northern Disclosure on YouTube.

Are there any Cicilians here on DU and miss Our Town?

DU used to have a 'grateful dead' subgroup way back in the day

One deadhead du'er posted "What is your favorite currency?"
Another replied, "Ripple, of course."

Today, a good decade later, I noticed in my robinhood account that I could invest in ripple.

So I did; I sold some of my stocks and got some ripple.
What can you guys tell me about Ripple? I'd like to know. I wanna be a crypto millionaire!
