Hey. If high functioning means that I am really good at wearing a sanity mask and appearing okay even when I am out of my fuucking mind, then I suppose I am. I mean I suppose my being able to work and have a good job and a decent place to live etc makes me look like i have my shiit together. And sometimes I do. Other times it's all just an illusion.
I am single and while I have some good friends only one person really knows the true extent of my mood disorder. And I can tell you that is a very lonely place to be- trying hard not only to be okay but conceal it when u r not to protect your career. I feel for you.

As for the med stuff. Idk. I can't take most medications, and even my dr isn't sure if what I am currently on is actually doing anything. But I am pretty good and have been since this spring so I am crossing my fingers that I can keep up this mostly normal mood state.

Anyway, hang in there. U are not alone. Take care.
