i just realized, i have bi-polar, along with menopause, it is like hell on earth. Hormonal problems along with mental/emotional problems make things alot worse. Lord only know when this curse will ever end.

Did a doctor diagnosis this or you are self diagnosing? I am just confused by the way you said, "I just realized ..."

Having a dual diagnosis is not uncommon. A lot of people suffer from alcoholism and bipolar or addiction and bipolar.

Big hugs to you Agrandkitten!! You've found a wonderful support group here at DS. Welcome aboard.

oh, yes, i was diagnosed that i was going through menopause, by my Gynocologist, but when this bipolar acted up again, after many many years, i forgot all about the menopause, until today. Thank you for responding, for cairng. I must mention this fact to my p-doc at my next appointment, in July.
