i have delt with bi-polar disorder my entire life. my mom was severely bi-polar and i was diagnosed at age 13. my mother attempted suicide over 50 times. i have one brother and two sisters who refused to deal with my mom due to the fact they thought her suicide attempts were just ways to get attention. my mother passed away in 2005. non-suicide. so now i am basically on my own with this disorder as my siblings not really wanting to have anything to do with me because they couldn't deal with my mothers bi-polar. i realize this is off topic but i would like to thank kymi84 for her earlier response. i experience alot of the same symptoms she does and until i read her response i thought it was just me. thanks for being so open and honest. as far as the main topic the illnesses or other symptoms you might have due to your bi-polar vary from person to person. aches pains headaches migraine. the list can go on and on.
what illnesses often co-exist with bipolar disorder?
