Also, a couple times she mentioned people being afraid of portions of her episodes, but the impact on her social life/relationships seemed so little. Is Lithium the only medication she has ever needed? If so, lucky her! Actually, I still have a number of questions about her experience.

She did mention napping on her office couch when depressed - putting a do not disturb sign up but that sounded like every once in a while- not weeks straight. Even if it were, I don't understand how nobody called her on her lack of production. Apparently she was just productive enough to not raise any red flags. All that lecturing and research - depression or mania nor the episodes of psychosis slowed her down. Never too out of it to perform. She did have one guy she dated who, when he found out about her bipolar, dumped her. But all we know is what she chose to write.
