A: It's hard for me to know. I have lots of memory gaps. So I asked my wife: I tend to buy things rapid-fire, not always expensive. I become obsessed with things, it can be message boards, games, tv, it becomes an one track obsession. I become offended really easily. I become very talkative whether anyone is listening to me or not. (hearing this is bringing me down hard)

Q: What do you do to bring yourself up when you hear how people around you really feel about you and the disorder? How do you stay positive?
