First of all ..Congratulations on getting married!-
if it runs in the family, yes it is always possible...These types of illnesses can be- and most of the time are- hereditary. I don't know if you are bipolar, but it sounds like you may be, and I think it's great that your asking about this and trying to find info, but you also need to get a referall to see a psychiatrist..Tell him about your history w/ cutting and depression, and your father's diagnosis, so he can give you a better/ quicker diagnosis of what he believes the problem to be...Good luck!!!
