Very good reading... My own personal background; my mother, I believe was an undiagnosed Bi-Polar, well if not that, something akin... She could maintain an level of anger that was unnatural, yell and scream for days and nights at a time. I often wonder if my father, maybe having submissive leanings, mistook her anger as dominance.[;)] Thyroid problems and depression have sprinkled the maternal side of my family and my siblings have not been spared either. And even though I myself have not bred, my siblings of course have fufilled passing it on well. I myself have likely just been treading water all these years. The book "Feeling Good" by Dr. David Burns was a great help at a time in my life when I had no hope and did help somewhat with coping. The panic attacks, depression, etc. are always waiting in the wings like an old habit just waiting for the backslide. They never have truly left. I'm well aware of the insanity of contradictions. If you are sick, you don't seek help. If you are well, you don't seek help. It's as maddening as ever. I had hoped to have something more positive to add, except that right now, clarity is about is easy as true honesty... harder than hell if you are self-deluded. Anyway, this thread was a good read, at the very least. [:)]
