hi creativelight, welcome.

i can relate to what you are saying about it being part of the personality. i've lived my whole life with it undx'd... with people here and there saying, are you bipolar or something? so having not even being dx'd until after my 2 teens were (a couple years ago)... i do feel like it's just a part of my personality, just who i am. still figuring it all out, and riding out a mania right now.

look forward to hearing more from you, take care.
