Aw thanks gang... I think you guys are right, they know me, it won't change that much. And at the same time, it's my life, I don't have to tell them at all until they day I'm ready if/when that comes.

As far as getting them to watch me for the crazy, I think they lost the right to that when no one noticed I was sick for six years (eek is that a bit of resentment coming out??!) but I have good friends who can see the crazy coming from a mile off, long before me and I'm pretty good at spotting it too so that's no problem.

I think part of me me just wants someone to say " look how hard that was, you've been really brave" as corny/pathetic as that sounds. Now that I've tried meds for the first time I've realised my life has been so damn hard for six years and now that I can look back with a non racy mind I cant comprehend How I even lived. Im actually feel scared if I think of going back to that life. Anyhow, I digress again.

Maybe next time I'm home I'll tell them if I feel up to it.

Thanks for the support / advice guys - really appreciate your insights as I've never done the family/biploar thing before.

. Hope all is well out there across the sea (I'm on the other side of the world to most of you)
