From the Paper:

"Though I must admit, to most, this self-inflicted mental rehabilitation sounds more insane than the actual disorder, and there were several occasions where I thought someone else would be calling my mother to give her a final update on my condition, the end result was everything I hoped for and more. I still suffer bouts of depression and mania, but they do not impede my daily life; a few minor lifestyle adjustments in addition to what I learned those three months in Virginia turned debilitating mood swings into minor inconveniences. And I still here voices and noises if I am exhausted, but they have no more affect on me, as would a radio played in the background. Most importantly, I am no longer ashamed of my condition. I openly tell new friends and acquaintances so that they understand why on some days I am a cliche social butterfly and on others I am more reserved and introverted, or why on some nights I will be the last to bed and on others I am the first. I cannot honestly say I am glad to have gone through something like this, I would rather feel the way I did before the disorder's emergence. I can honestly say that I know now that no accomplishment is outside my grasp, and that adversity is best used as a motivation to achieve rather than as an excuse to fail.
