[Slowbrains]

Hi, I want to post this for people suffering BP family background and how it's been affecting you. I'm at least next generation person of family mental health issues. History further back is unknown, there was WW2 and everybody in my country were messed up more or less.

The point is I never knew it had affected me so much. It was all normal “Dad’s having a bad day, shh let him be”. It has been so big tabu to me that I’ve never even mentioned it to any T I’ve been visiting. I’ve never felt I should talk about it. It’s just something to be forgotten. Period.

I got the sweetest reply to thread I once started http://forums.psychcentral.com/copin...-emotions.html

(Excuse me I’m terrible user, I hope link is working)

It triggered me writing this because it opened my eyes so much. All the hope is not lost. It’s not all brain chemistry malfunction. Habits run in a family and I just realized I can cure 20% more of my bipolar by getting this thing sorted out. Meds will do 50% and my other efforts 10%

20%, will never heal but I hope it’s better percentage my dad had.
