My diagnosis was clear-cut, it takes a pdoc only seconds to diagnose me once they read my history. I might just have to check this out.
Pawn, maybe you can shed some light on being a very high-functioning bipolar? I managed to successfully raise two wonderful children and I work p/t, but my life is far from what the lives of the people in that movie look like. How do you do it, on a practical level?
