Ive noticed the more I learn about BP and recognize it in myself...the more I see it in my mom and grandma...With my mother she was very volatile..I never knew if she was going to be in a good mood or bad...she had a horrific temper...was impulsive...and prone to long bouts of depression. With my grandmother...she was ALWAYS busy and when she wasnt busy she had long periods of meloncoly...Both are gone now and its a crying shame that they never knew what the "issue" was and that it could have been helped...
