I was in recovery. My illness was being managed well. I was doing great on my meds, confident, successful and living life. I was happy. 4 years ago I relapsed. My meds stopped working. My anxiety went into overdrive. My depression took over and my manic episodes came back with a vengeance. I'm not sure if pre menopause can cause this or not. I hit bottom in December 2015.

Thank you for the information😊
