Giddy, Do yourself a huge favor! You may have been diagnosed with BP unspecified, but don't let it become your identity. The number of threads, the vast amount of time and energy put into the threads/posts, some basically nonsensical, while trying to collect info on others when, in fact, the factors you are "investigating" are highly individualized.?
Believe me when I tell you I am concerned about your welfare when I highly suggest you work on gaining some balance by investing some time and energy in other pursuits. You are not your illness. Do something simple and logical, like maybe a mood chart, have a life, and come and tell us all about the fun you are having in a life outside of PC.
You have many good qualities!
You can have a much better life than allowing this to consume you.
With Love and Concern
