FM, (((hugs)))). This sounds awful :(Well, have you been dx'd cyclthymic or BPlll or BPnos? (BP = bipolar here NOT borderline.)
Not sure what treatment protocol would be or is. You know I have had an awful time. For myself, it's biology plus a lot of psychology. That's mostly what I know,
so that's the lens I usually see through. Since you are relapsing often, I'm thinking of the self-care and thought piece that is important to sustained recovery.You may have answered or considered any of the below.... I'm just thinking out loud. (Unfortunately, my preferred way.)
What percentage do you think is
biological? All or very nearly all? (Sounds biological to me, but I'm asking.)Any trauma in your background?
I also wonder, kinda' bluntly, sorry, if you are asking too much from yourself regarding things like pacing events, down time, productivity, being up or positive.... Not that these are root causes. I don't even mean that. I guess I would like to think you are being really kind to yourself and gentle. Rage and anger can be so awful to experience esp when lashing out at others. I'm sorry. (You probably missed my Lyrica-induced rage a few weeks back. It was like h*ll :( )
Hang in there lady. Babblemail if you ever want. Gotta go.
