A former college professor who stepped in and has mentored me and has helped me learn to cope with life. I owe him about everything.

Do you think bipolar is over-diagnosed/a trendy diagnosis?

I think BP used to be the trendy one but borderline is the one all the Pdocs are now pushing...seems like it anyway.

Do you have more than one diagnosises?

BP, GAD, PTSD and OCD-sort of (meaning my pdoc hasn't diagnosed it but my therapist feels I have it although more the pure O form).

Do you have a pharmacy that works well for you or do you have a surprise with every refill?

My new pharmacy works great. No problems.

Question: Do you go to pharmaceutical sites and either read the professional literature or use the "interactions checker" on newly prescribed meds?

Never. I take blindly what the shrink prescribes. Nah, I've checked once in a while.

Do you wake up refreshed?.

Yes, I can be pretty intuitive.

How many emotions do you go through a day? (basic average I know we all go through a lot)

Depends on how stable I happen to be.

Were you treated for other things before being diagnosed with bipolar?

I enjoy spring and fall the same. Mild weather is the life for me.

Do you sing when you are happy?

We have no seasons. Florida. If we had, spring.

What noise bothers you the most.

Ok miss fast-on-the-trigger friend.
I sing even when I'm sad. I only dance when I'm happy.

Again. What noise bothers you the most.

The way I responded when I was bullied in high school.

Were you ever bullied as a child or adult?

About 50 hours a week.

Have you gained any weight since being diagnosed with bipolar?
