Gina,

That is so awesome! Yeah, I actually think the hypo-mania really helped my career. It was really only my immediate family that saw the bad side of things and my medicating with alcohol.

I'm glad I'm not alone in this! There are definitely people that I've recently met after moving here that I would NEVER tell. They would be running for the hills. The moms around here are ruthless and gossipers. They wouldn't try to understand it.

I try not to disclose much. I just tell them the good stuff!
