Nope, I don’t like fruit much. I rarely eat it. Mangos are ok.

I'm not really that fond of zoos. I'd rather wish to think of the animals in a natural habitat. But putting that aside, I suppose I like seeing the wild cats most, though I like all animals. Who is your favorite comedian or comedienne?

He wasn't entirely a stranger but nearly one. When I was in college my senior year I had a severe depression and was seeing a therapist there 4x/week. The therapist's office was on the other side of campus from my dorm and one day I was crying on my way back to the dorm. My first semester of freshman year lab partner saw me, gave me a hug and walked me to my dorm. It was a very sweet thing to do.
Do you have food allergies or sensitivies?

When I'm in a deep paranoia attack, zyprexa. If I'm struggling with a mixed episode, comforting music, candles and grounding techniques.

I think I was 17. I was angry. I thought it was a load of bull that just because I was angry with my older, slower therapist for being slow and because my dad said I was a hyper person I got labelled "bipolar." I mean even to me today that sounds more like ADHD than bipolar. I was 20 I think when they changed it to schizoaffective and I was more accepting by then after being in treatment a while and realizing things weren't right.
If you could be doing anything in the universe right now, what would you be doing?

My nighttime eating isn't so much when waking up in the middle of the night, but rather later at night before I finally fall asleep. What I eat soon before bed varies. When I'm reasonable, I eat a low fat or fat free yogurt. When I want to splurge more, it's a dessert-like thing. Though rare, I have been munching on salty stuff lately (popcorn, peanuts, chips, crackers). Not sure why I've had the salt cravings. How much water (or non caffeinated beverages) do you generally consume each day?

I don’t drink much, my water consumption has fallen to one .5 liter bottle a day. Back in the day when on a different cocktail I drank huge bottles of water all day long. Now not so much. Back then I drank gallons of soda too. Now sometimes one 20oz a day or less. I really should drink more.
How many pillows do you sleep with?

I have to answer this question because it's relevant to my life right now
 I had always slept with 2 pillows - 1 regular, 1 memory foam. Then I purchased a new pillow and it's so puffy that I, somewhat regretfully, had to give up my memory foam pillow. I now use it to support my back when I'm reading in bed, then it's retired to it's new spot in a big basket in my bedroom. Funny thing, the single pillow is working out well. Do you enjoy taking walks, or is it something you have to compel yourself to do?

And I feel compelled to answer this one! Since my back fusion it is painful to do any amount of walking. Just from the house to across the street to get mail pains my back. But I have set out on a path of improvement. I’m starting with aqua Zumba and aqua fitness for the support water gives me. Then I’m going to do walking at the Y with walking sticks and gradually increase my distance. Then once I can do a mile without the sticks start walking the paths around me to the parks and nature center. My long term gold is to go to DC and walk all the Smithsonian museums. But right now, ugh walking is hard I absolutely must compel myself to do the least bit.
How often do you buy clothes?

my mom and sister both have PhDs. I really wanted to earn a PhD and planned to do it but bipolar took away my ability to study and keep up with a class, especially while working. Both are excellent teachers and I think I could have been one too before BP.
