That's awesome. I had a similar experience.

When riding in the truck with my first boss out of college, I was talking about how I need to find insurance for all the meds I have to take. He asked why I take them. When I responded bipolar disorder, a great big smirk crept across his face and he exclaimed, "Hey I got that too!" and we proceeded to have a full convo of how and when we were both dx'd and what he has done to help control his over the years.

Congrats hamster!
