I have bipolar and PTSD(from severe child abuse). They feed off each other a lot of the time making both worse. It is difficult to treat too, as my doctor says. Sometimes I wonder if I will make it out alive as they can form into a perfect storm at times, leaving me very agitated, anxious, low mood, SI, and flashbacks, along with other difficult experiences. It is hard to treat but my doctor is confident he can help me find my feet and get along in this crazy world. It is wonderful to have his support and encouragement. This helps immensely.
