Im in my mid 50's now and i think i may be bipolar. During a really bad marriage breakup earlier this year, I think I had an episode, i say i think because it was my normal, but much worse, i couldnt deal with the games being played and just went into hyper, since then i can't settle anywhere, I have had to move lots over the last year, and every time i repack i move back into a very fretful place. i can't handle any kind of responsiblility, money, job, i can't be relied on. I am really frightened of being diagnosed for fear of what it will mean. My grandmother and my father had demetia too! Tell me is it better that i know I have bipolar, does it really help knowing? I have struggled all my adult life on and off anti depressents, and have been known to decorate a hallway in a day, this break up has blown my mind, i just can't adjust, think straight, understand, remember things, its like being in post traumatic shock and im very weary now. Sometimes i just don't want to go on.
