Mania has led to a wreckless life in my case.
Never acting correctly. Never giving any importance to what was important.
I've been manic for more than 40 yrs. Self medicating, of course.
Never asked for help until age 62. When I was diagnosed with the bipolar.
Depression sucks big time. I'd rather be manic. But I'm in the last chance
to keep my 3rd marriage. I'm tough, but living under a bridge is tougher.
