Hi babe, you have come to the right place for support but it would be remiss for anyone to try and diagnose you.

In saying that the symptoms you have listed could be any number of things.....It could be Bipolar, it could be severe depression as irritability is a symptom of that, it could be symptomatic of a personality disorder. It could also be symptomatic of a physical ailment or if you have a chronic illness. Serious hormone changes could explain it as well. How long ago did you have your children? Is there bipolar in your family or other disorders?

If you could provide a bit more info, we might be able to provide a bit more support in the process of helping you get help.

Do you have a general practitioner or family doctor that you trust? If you cant afford a therapist.....they are a good first port of call. Do you have access to a "help/crisis line" that is free of charge?

I was dx borderline personality disorder and schizoffective 15 years ago. I was dx bipolar II 2007. My son is now 14 and he is fine. Your kids do not think you are insane. My boy just thinks I am a bit "nutty".

Have hope......many people here know exactly what you are going through....there is nothing more horrible than not knowing what is wrong.

Treat us like a soft blanket.......we will try to provide as much comfort as we can.
