Recently diagnosed with Bipolar II, Will it ever get better?

Dear kind people who went through hell because of mental illness,
I am a 19 year old, who has been treated from severe depression for 2 years unsuccessfuly,
one attemp of suicide, and two hospitalizations. Luckily last time I was
hospitalized there was a bipolar specialist who quickly realized that my diagnosis was
wrong(I have bipolar II) the entire time and I got proper meds for mine.
I take Seroquel, Eftil(I don't know what it's called in the US, but it's used usually for epileptic
episodes), Pregabalin(Lyrica), and I'm tapering off of Clonzaepam which I used to take for
anxiety.

I don't have manic episodes, I have slight hypomania, but very rarely. Most of the time my episodes
are depressive and I feel like I don't wanna live. I feel sadness and cry most of the time.
These meds so far got me a bit more balanced, and the psychological pains are not nearly
as bad.

I wanted to ask if anyone with bipolar II has got their life together?

My college is starting in roughly 10 days, and I hope that days with structure(having to
wake up and go to college, study and so on) will help me get out of my own thoughts.

I have distanced myself from almost all friends, or some have abandoned me because I'm not
doing good. (You're just spoiled, you have everything, you have no reason to be sad etc.)

I wanna hear if anyone is functioning normally, and how did you get to that stage?
Because the more I stay in my depressive episode, the more suicidal I get, and most
of the time I don't see an exit other than suicide.

Any tips to get better? Is it even possible?

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this. While I'm not specifically bipolar I or II, I do have Schizoaffective disorder bipolar type (Schizophrenia with bipolar on top of it). I work a full time job, have an alright social life (would much rather stay inside and do something than go outside), and am high functioning. There was a point where I couldn't function. It didn't last for very long, but it did get my hospitalized. I got put on medication that didn't work, and it was a back and forth battle with the medicine, until I found something that worked. Finding the right medicine is key for most people. Also, if you have a therapist, that helps.

Hobbies. Hobbies are a big thing that can help you keep going. Like you said, the college structure may help you, but eventually, as much as I don't wish this upon you, you will get stressed. I never went to college, I went immediately into the work force. I hated school, did terrible in it, had horrible teachers, never got into it, but I digress. Hobbies help keep your mind going. Just be careful of triggers and such.

Another thing I can recommend is having a safe space to go to, especially if you get suicidal. I go to my boyfriend, personally, because he knows how to deal with it. Don't be afraid to Google the suicide hotline number. I've used it, it helps. They people on there are nice, and they have soft, relaxing voices.

I agree with Tyler other than going to college is very manageable if that's what you want to do. I did a lighter course load and went to spring/summer terms to catch up. OTOH I find choosing a career to be stressful. A full time job is much more work than college (depending on your major).

Bipolar 2 has more depression so I've heard that a mood stabilizer like lithium and an anti-depressant can be beneficial but you have to be careful not to get manic from the anti-depressant.

These things have helped my depression: exercise: lifting heavy weights: squat, deadlift, bench, row, pull ups, dips, running sprints, jogging a few miles, swimming, 2,000 IU or more Vitamin D3 particularly in the winter or getting half an hour of sun on your body everyday, eating healthy, drinking coffee and alcohol in moderation, keeping a routine particularly sleep/wake/meal/exercise/study times, and forcing yourself to go out with friends even when you feel like hibernating.
