I have quoted myself because this is very important to me. I have thought a lot since my last input. All of us need a flock (a herd) to belong to. In reality we belong to different flocks to some degree (family, work, hobbies and so on). I have come to the conclusion that I do belong to the bipolar flock as well. I mean
I am good enough for you. I do not fulfill the four day criteria for hypomania (that is about the NOS), but my "highs" are there. I cannot run away from them. I have to plan my life in accordance with what to expect and learn how to use the best psychological tools I know about just like others who have this disorder or a some sort of a similar one. We all know ourselves best. We are all unique and nobody is a copy of another.
