I was reading the BP VS. BPD and I was wondering what anyone my know about head trauma causing bp. I've just started lithium and was wondering if all the stress and the anoxic brain injury from blunt force trauma may have caused this chemical imbalance. I was hit on the back of the head w/ a mag flashlight from my 1st x-husband. I had a seizure and was must have inhaled vomit, I was left like that for 6hours w/out oxygen to the brain. I was posturing and had blood setting up in my back. I was told by the er that i would require a liver, lung and kidney transplant. If i did make it, I would never be the same. This occured in Oct. of 2000 and every year mood, etc get worse. I've seen some really great advice from people on this site and would really like some input...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
But blaming any of these idiotic things that happened in my life is just a waste of time. I have to get into the cure for my emotions not worry about the cause.
I can't go backwards and fix my problem. If I could I would do it for selfish finacial gain or to sleep with a certain beautiful female. I would never use that secret power to help the world.
My son had a very tragic childhood head trauma, I wouldn't be surprised if that helps contributing to his mental health.

I was really drunk,amongst other things.
I hit a sudden and bad depression after this and started having really bad panic attacks.
However I had delt with depression several times before that....and there are two other members of my immediate family that have a bp dx as well.
Its a question Ive asked myself because things became gravely worse after that fall.
