Bob,
I am on maintenance also. I was diagnosed Bipolar over 10 years ago!
After I started Medication, I felt like I was on vacation. Living is a lot easier!
My wife told me- "You can do almost anything you want, but if you quit taking your meds, I am leaving" LOL.
Wow- What a great bunch of people here.

Sorry you had to go through all of that SK but glad you came out the other side. Even without depression or being bipolar, life has a way of getting on top of you when you aren't looking... and then knocking you for six. Getting out of the quagmire is a feat in itself - without adding that cocktail you were on into the mix.
It is brave of you to share with us but it is also very good that you were able to do so. You should print off your opening post and stick it somewhere prominent, just to remind yourself how easy it is to get into that hole and how hard it is to get out of it. Your words will mean more to you than any other reminder cos you wrote them from your heart.
I hope you continue to progress and can keep the demons at bay.... and maybe your step-daughter too.
