I've been the only one with BP in my house and growing up. I don't wish BP on others but I often wish they had for one day so they can see how serious and hellish it really is instead of not understanding and saying I need to "snap out of it!" Ahhh is that annoying!

I get your opiate addiction ((big hugs to that)). I've been to hell and back again with substance abuse/addiction. This forum is actually the only place where I've been open about it! So I thank you all for the past support and understanding! I'm very grateful for it.

And yes hormonal changes like menopause can reek havoc on your mentality. I haven't been through it yet but I've seen it drive sane people up a wall! Are you taking anything for the symptoms? I've seen commercials for supplements ect. I actually haven't had my period for a year now from either my psych meds or from stopping the pill. I was so worried I went to my dr and said "please don't tell me I'm going through early menopause!" But blood work came back fine, thank god.
