hi cute,My darling partner of 19 yrs is having trouble understanding that I need the manic or at least semi manic to have any motivation,especially to succeed at a business I believe I can make happen,he was for a while getting pretty upset when I was up all hours as you do in the manic times,but seems to be coming around with that,He understandably is concerned that this could turn inot type 1,(I'm type 2)but he is really hacked off that I wont take meds for it,I want the manic and have virtually no motivation for anything without it,also of course the natural high is great,but I do take sleepers and am trying to manage this myself.Mother in law hasn't told anyone,friends have been great,I've explained to them the score about this,one of my brothers doesn't think I have anything wrong,I'm also sure I have and had adhd or at least add,think the Hyperactive has come out in the form of bi-polar.It is a big thing for family,partners to come to terms with,and overall my darling is going well with it.good luck to you all.
