> So good to hear from you. I have missed being around all you good people. I've been away - away finding out, from a reliable source this time, that I am not only ADD but Bipolar - well, predominately Bipolar - well, maybe not ADD at all. Maybe just Bipolar. I doubt that but we'll see... I truly think I am both.

> It's been a rough road for the past couple of months but I am now regaining my cognitive function and especially my memory that so many chemicals had taken away. I am on one medication - Tegretol for mood stabilization and I am doing better than I have in years, in a shockingly "normal" sort of way.

> KarenI am lost. The lady that I love suffers from PMDD. The thing is that she won't go for help. Maybe she thinks that there is some other problem. You seem to have this too. I have stood by her for a year and have tried to show her as much information as I can just to get her to a doctor. She has suffered long enough. This has plagued her for 30 years. How do I approach this? She tries things for a while but then gets down and gives up on herself. Then she gives up on me because she does not want to hurt me. She knows she has a problem. She then comes back and asks forgiveness. If I did not love her so much I would not have lasted this long. Who said women are the weaker sex...ha! What an idiot. If men had to deal with these emotional storms we would be institutionalized in a heartbeat. I am physically and emotionally drained. I keep reading and learning more. There really is so little written about this subject and yet it afflicts millions of women. I guess that is because men control the research to to the most part. I will continue to try to help the one I love but any help from you would be greatly appreciated. She is my soul mate and I won't give up until I have a solution. I know this just does not go away completely even with tratment. It will continue to take patience and love on my part even when the storms subside. Well thanx in advance.
