Thanks ultra...

I love a fluent writer who shares her bipolar experience so openly...submitting all her foiables and then accepting herself and her meds! And yes...of love...love and meds ARE a pretty darn good combination.

I enjoyed that great article!
Thanks for this!

Loved it!

I've tried to write about mania or just describe it to someone and can wholeheartedly relate to the inability to accurately describe without, in turn, feeling it and experiencing it. Surprisingly... that was my favorite part of the article.
