Dear Cole Thornton, You wrote: "If she wants 100 things and gets 99 of them, she will obsess over the one she does not have." Yeeow -- sounds like me. I wonder if this is a symptom of bipolar? I have a dx of Bipolar 2, take meds, work hard to take care of myself. But I still obsess over what I do not or cannot have. Do you know the traditional folk tale called "The Fisherman and his Wife"? I am like the wife. To make the story short, the fisherman catches a big fish and says he can have a certain number of wishes if the fisherman throws the talking fish back into the sea. When he tells this to his wife, she says she doesn't want to live in hovel anymore, and to go ask the fish to give them a nice little cottage with a rose garden etc etc. So the fisherman goes to the sea and calls for the fish, which comes up to see what the fisherman wants of him. Well, every time, the Wife wants a bigger and better and bigger and better house, till they are living in a huge castle. The wife demands more and more and more, finally saying she wants to be "The queen of the sun, the moon, and the stars." The hapless Fisherman asks the fish for that, for his wife, and the fish tells him to go home. When he gets back home, there they are in the original fisherman's hovel. I have been known to equate myself with the Wife.
