...wow yeah I'm all a bit confused here too umm?
manias and hypomanias and this and that and if they are natural or un-natural or logical or where they whatsa'

...it's all so specifically individual the things that trigger each person and what experience follows and how it's interpreted and why. I suppose that 'logic' for a person acting 'crazy' has a whole new definition so anything is possible there.
but then...it might not be fair on yourself to be calling yourself or your behaviour at the time 'crazy'...? the experiences we can have are hard enough yep.
I wonder that having the 'label' is the least of the problem Skipper, but it's great if you are managing without so much of the medication..
maybe you be just a 'part-time' bipolar
..oh yeah....a huge and whole new realm are the medications and weird effects. I took only two doses ofzoloft years ago and got meself stuck on a cliff face! ...a place I had no business bein' there at all
