hey mobjack, did you know you have a hug from bipolarnurse? I thought that was funny since you were diagnosed by a nurse exwife who also diagnosed her previous exhubby. bipolarnurse isn't by any chance your exwife is she?
anyway, hopefully we all have a sense of humour on this site.

so, um, your experience of the church, business, investing large sum on credit, going bankrupt then as a result of the whole scheme not panning out, then crashing into depression, all sounds classic bipolar. and you saying that your depression is situational because of the result, I hear you, but it reminds me of what my dad would say ( and he was very definitely bipolar) and the apple didn't fall far from the tree

remember, you asked for feedback!

having said all that, who am I to say, there are several other wonderful disorders you could have I'm sure.... and since your exwife diagnosed you I wouldn't accept that! no way! I guess what might be more important right now to realize is that right now you are depressed, you do recognize that, and what you want to do is get better, feel better, somehow, some way. and for that, I do wish you sincerely the best wishes, for better days to come.
