Wow, I was quite ill then.

I did the same thing last summer with an article I'd written called "After the Whirlwind".....gave a copy to my pdoc, who promptly changed my diagnosis from "question of depressive disorder" to straight bipolar. When I re-read it a couple of months ago, I saw why. You can check it out here on PC in the Creative Corner forum if you've a mind to. I always seem to use a lot of metaphorical references when I'm manic, and this thing was
loaded with 'em. Still a good read, though, if I do say so myself.
