Fair enough. And I'm really sorry about your friends. I know that feeling all too well.

If I sounded judgy, please accept my apologies. That really wasn't my intent. Perhaps I am remembering too keenly what led me to the truly rotten state of darkness I'm suffering now.

And as far as "norm," you ARE acting normal for a person with bipolar disorder!

Again, apologies if I sounded judgy. The intent was caring/concerned. Emotions do not always convey well in writing especially.

All the best--
