My dads dead. My mom was murdered when I was 10 but she would have understood. She had a serious MI that I have guessed to be either rapid cycling BP 1 or Schizophrenia. I was too young when she was murdered to know what she had.

Told my aunt and sister. Think my aunt understood because she was around to see my mom. My sister just basically blew it off, I don't think she really understood how serious it is. She said stuff like everybody has depression, stuff like that. I haven't told anyone else yet.

My husband and grown kids understand because they have seen me manic before.
