I could struggle with both.
The bipolar seems real as I experience psychotic mania. And mixed states.
But I've suffered hurricanes,earthquakes, tornadoes.
My first almost fiancé ( Trigger) committed suicide. My best friend all thru highschool did too.
A speculation is that my father killed my step mom by pushing her down a flight of stairs.
I've been robbed in Costa Rica 28 times.
Our home in the desert too. Stole our truck and trailer twice. Our business AStorage facility had peace for 14 years. In the last few years all of the garages were cut into 4times.
We've had to pay guards in Costa Rica and at the Storage.
I lost $87,000 in the stock market as the broker did not execute trades I had authorized in writing. I did not sue.
So I could go on but the point being how much can a person endure.
It seems the breaking point coincides with my bipolar meltdowns. Trigger...
My first episode was after my father offed my step mom and best friend killed herself.
I lost the ability to speak.
This is so much to go through for one person and it just doesn't seem fair at all! I agree, how much can a person endure? I have a list of stuff too... several very violent attacks....robbed about 6 times...suicide in the family (once successfully and the other one lived after shooting himself in the head. He lived with us while he recovered. The list could go on and on and on.

Do you think your delusions are PTSD related? If I'm having delusions it makes sense they are PTSD. My therapist said they are more. She said PTSD can cause paranoia but not delusions. I'm not so sure. The evidence is overwhelming so I just don't know what is what.

I wish I could turn back time and stop all those things from happening to you and to me. Please take care of yourself...watch your back and try to stay safe. (((Hugs)))
