Okay, I've been reading up on BP and I have to say the way they describe it is NOTHING like it is, well, not really. I read where the episodes last months and a person doesn't normally go through too many a year. To me this is total BS. I cycle almost daily if not several times a day. I know it said normally, but with BP nothing is normal for us.

Geez, I can't even stand up to my kitchen sink because it terrifies me for no good reason. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!! It makes no sense to me at all. I'm sorry, I'm aggitated big time. Saw xdh and then read up on this a little and oh man am I mad. Again, no real good reason other than I didn't like what I read and saw.

Carla,


I agree that *my* experience with BP is nothing like I've read about.

Carla,


Sounds like you're reading an older description of "classic" BP--until about 4 years or so ago, my moods would last for 6 months or more, although they would usually be less intense at the beginning and the end--at least with depression, mania (or at least at it's full blown form) would switch on like a light bulb, but then gradually mellow out to a period of "normalcy".

Thank you both.

Marci, I do know xdh is the devil and I have no idea why I pick up the phone when he calls, we have no children (if we did he would have ran faster), he lives with his g/f and she doesn't have a job. He has found out that the grass isn't always greener on the other side, that indeed the grass can be dead and there isn't any way back to the side I'm on. I've told him point blank to leave me alone and he sort of does, then something will pop into his head and he will call. Always from work or a pay phone, never from her house. Like I care what her # is, I don't.

I guess deep down I know he needs help and my personality is the type that helps everyone around and when it comes to me (until recently) I just put myself last.

Well....I'm at work, gotta run.
