I'm so glad you are okay. I think your reaction is completely appropriate and "normal." My reactions to things totally depend on my mood. For example, let's say I get a terrible diagnosis of stage four pancreatic cancer.

If I am in a depression, I start planning my funeral and secretly I am very happy because I am going to be free at last, and without the stigma of suicide. I decide immediately that I am not going to do any treatment.

If I'm stable, I feel sad,and I make plans for treatment and proceed with cautio. I definitely feel fear and uncomfortable about what is happening.

If I'm manic, I am convinced that I will fight to the end, that I will beat it, and that there is no need to be afraid. I start organizing my own fundraiser and I'm designing the t-shirts, all as I'm walking to my car from the doctor's office.

Same scenario.....three totally different reactions depending on my mood. This is what BP looks like for me.

Anyone else??
