Keep Strong, Kait. I have dealt with MDD for years – it is devastating – I know how you feel. I have no idea what you are going thru with Bipolar Disorder, however. Just be strong, be around positive people who want to help you and uplift you. Best of Luck, to get better is what we all hope for. Regards, Nawfal
