With the hypomania I felt euphoric and expansive, but the other stressors of life kept things from truly being fun. There was the fire to begin with. (I thought when we left to evacuate that we would lose the house.) And I nearly lost my sis in the middle of all that, but it's not a story to tell here.

My username is a toughie. So if you need to recall it, just think: "humanity" in Gaelic.
