It's hardly fair, is it? You have one incredibly traumatic event to cope with and then a mental illness on top of it. There are many people with bipolar who have also experienced trauma, it's one surefire way, given the genetics, to trigger it. The people in this forum, the PTSD forum and the chat room will be willing to listen to you and respond and I hope that that will help.
