Diagnosed eight years ago with Bipolar Disorder. I did not tell him about all the incest and rapes, but then again he didn't ask. Got a new doctor, my therapist, the people in the hospital, and outpatient telling me no, you're not bipolar. It's PTSD. The symptoms are actually very similar.
Molested by a sadistic uncle until 10 (during which time I was molested once by a female neighbor), forcibly raped by stepfather at 13 (and beaten by him on a regular basis until I was 19), forcibly raped by boyfriend at 22, date-raped at 24 & 26, raped while passed out 27. More attempted rapes and harassment than I even ever think about.
