[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 9421, member: 1514"] This is an interesting thread. I did fairly well for quite awhile because I was able to fragment myself and keep my public side "normal". No one saw the real me except my family. I hid the stress and came home and exploded. Just like people say kids can maintain in school and come home and meltdown at their parents, I did that when I had to be "good" out in the world. It was like I played a role of a normal person. But the stress had to come out someplace and home was it. As I got older, I wasnt able to contain it as well. I dont know if that was because I became physically ill too and the pain became too much of a stressor or if my bipolar became worse. I do believe I have Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP) and that because I wasnt treated early that it is more treatment resistant. We keep upping my doses of medications to what I consider extremely high doses. It worries me. [/QUOTE]
