I was very close to my father's sister (my aunt). She died in 1992 of cancer but she suffered from Bipolar at least her adult life (maybe earlier, not sure). I was 15 when she died. That is when my extreme mood problems began. it never occurred to me (or my immediate family) to seek help for my flailing moods -- deep depressions and periods of hyper-bliss and productivity. So I began to just live with it. My family is not one to run to a "head doctor" or "shrink" s they would call it. Things like mental illness have been a hush hush dirty secret thing in my family.
My aunt and I always functioned on a different level together. After she died and I began to experience the very things I witnessed her experiencing in life and now being diagnosed .... well I guess I am wondering about anyone's opinion of transmigration ....
Did my aunt in some way become a part of me? An unresolved issue (her illness that was never helped in any way till right before she died) to continue in me to seek resolution? I have heard her speaking to me many times, seeing her only fleetingly and rarely.
Just curious about anybody's opinions on this subject. I hardly consider myself this esoteric, but I have to wonder ...

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...
Welcome to the bipolar family.
Seven years later had another, and was finally diagnosed bipolar.
I always believed that God let me experience his death, because he wanted to be sure, once I was diagnosed that I would prevail. And I have. I am very lucky, sick as I am, to have experienced first hand what he suffered, because he was the most maternal, loving, man I ever knew.God works in mysterious ways. Much peace.
