Hi I ve had to deal with depression since my teens. I m now in my early 60 s. This last time was one of the worst. When I m not depressed I m enthusiastically productive and almost unrealistic in my confidence. I also have chronic pain management issues with fibromyalgia. JRA cooled in my early 20 s. One brother has bipolar. Could I possibly be dealing with some degree of bipolar disease?
