hbomb0903: I hear ya'!

Was diagnosed as BP2

I was surprised, as my past was littered with full-blown manias; to whit: blowing my whole paycheck on books about Antarctica, as I was going to move there [mind you, this idea came out of nowhere; I have neither contacts nor qualifications]. Went so far as to call my therapist in excitement. It took him many concerned phone calls to slow me down. Ex 2: losing over 3 days of my life after I was convinced John Lennon visited me (after his death). Apparently, I composed a 20+ page letter over those three days that my mother was charmed to receive; to this day, I do not know what I wrote, it distressed her so. And these are just a couple of chocolates in the assortment box o' crazy.

so, anyway, I here I am, at BP2. It has been a veritable wrecking ball to my life. I hear what you are saying, it feels like the illness is being diminished. But it's really not - it's just a different shade of the mh spectrum, and we're both still on it! Yay!
