As for your other post, I didn't see it, and well, we are all human. Would you accept this free hug?

Yes, that hug is comforting!  Thanks for sharing. I get the med thing. I completely agree that 'normal' is basically stable (with all of the challenges, sometimes huge ones, of every day life, some with more baggage than others), but it is, sadly, temporary, almost by definition -cyclical meaning that there's always that danger of cycling into something that what I think of 'sick.' As in, "I'm ill (at the moment)." It is, as Bipolar nurse pointed out, sometimes difficult to tell, when we're 'ill' and when it's something else going on.
