I have a hard time dealing with my highs and lows, too. I don't think it's something that you easily get used to.... if that EVER even happens at all. I'd like to think that one day I'll have this all under some type of control, but I am not too sure about that. Sometimes I even wonder if I am going insane... and it makes it even worse to know that most of the poeple around me don't understand bi-polar disorder much at all. BUT I won't give up...I have plenty to keep striving for.
