Right now I'm feeling very collected so it's hard to say-maybe I'm just finally 'breaking out of my shell' so to speak (I've always been a bit of a wallflower) after using a crutch of substances for so long which really was detrimental to my development, who knows.

Abuse vctims often to turn to drugs and alcohol to escape the pain. My others have experienced the abuse and are alcoholics and addicts themselves which in turn makes it so difficult to quit.

On my bipolar....the bodies bipolar...it's a genetic issue. It has a cycle of 3 days...ultra rapid cycling...there is a mood change/switch. The meds stops the cycling, and holds my mood at baseline. When a depressed part comes out, that part stays depressed. It's the timing of the cycle that clues me onto the nature of its cause. It's a roller coaster and I can feel the changes through the cycles.
See, now I came out...I'm the clinical version of us all...Shelly went back in.
What clued me in on the bipolar is when I was prescribed an anti-d, I shot through the roof to hypomania which took a stabilizer to flatten me out. Bipolar affected individuals generally have this reaction to SSRIs.
