know angry mood swings, oh jesus do I know them, and the dx that finally fell out was rapid (dail) cycling Bipolar II. Being bipolar/ADD is like, dramatic, interesting situations are like *glue.* When you said addictive relationship--not that I've ever had any (!)--I immediately heard BPII/ADD combo. I used to tell my boyfriend, "You are the fridge, and I am the magnet."
You think it's situational, or process addiction, or character weakness---and then you get on Lamictal (and probably only then) and the attraction is gone. You begin to understand your own mood disorder, and your attention becomes volitional. Which is very nice. Very nice.
