I hope you are all doing better, and finding strength. I send hugs and love.
It is basic neurobiology that the longer we have bp disorder the more likely the tiniest thing is to cause full mania or depression. This has been shown on fmri. As a matter of fact, we get way LESS likely to flare due to major crises the older we get. So, we actually improve a lot w the huge stresses. Many studies on this.

So, I usually don't say things like this but, she's an idiot. And you are SUPER AWESOME!!!!!!
