My print date was 12/10 of 2008 so you may be able to find it if you can figure out where to look for it. It was an eye opener because I wasn't diagnosed as bipolar until 2000&I've had it all my life&it's been a real source of pain&agony. What is good is that you can empathize with your son from 1st hand experience. Don't let this Doc treat him for ADD-the meds for ADD will only make him feel worse. Don't know what else to tell yu except to maybe PM DocJohn&ask if he knows of any resources if you can't find anything here on PC. Best wishes to you&your son   |
skymonk-
I typed a big long reply to you, I don't know if it went through or not, I know the mods have to post them, but my computer timed out when I posted it, so you may get two replys. But I would be happy to talk to you anytime, I lost all my friends except one who happens to be sctizo-affective when I found out I was Bipolar because I was cycling so bad, and I just can't think "normally" or have "normal" feelings, I just don't get along with woman and regular people that well. it's like they don't "get" me or something? or well their loss, I am a totally awesome person and if they couldn't see that, screw um. ya know what I mean? I am also on disabilty and home alot, I sleep alot though too, I am always tired it seems. But I would love to talk to ya more about anything you want.
love-
Nemo
