The more I read about bipolar disease, the more confused I am about my diagnosis. As far as I can tell, I have never had a classic mania. Yes I am capable of incredible work every once and awhile, but it is productive work that really qualifies as work. And if they are manias, they sure last a long time. One time I wrote a book that got published in four weeks when the time allotted was 12. Another time, I spent 14 months writing a book that should have taken 18-20 months.

Also, I sleep well most every night. And those nights I don't sleep well, I end up taking a nap the next afternoon.

So what am I missing?
