on serious mania and the reality that I was BPII and I had to deal with it now. Suffer from anxiety, rapid cycling, mood swings, anger management issues and hypersexuality as well but at least I still have a sense of humor about these things - if not you just cry and trust me I have done enough of that.
Happy to talk to other people about the disease, active in counselling in support groups for bipolar and will chat where possible. Also have IBS, Reflux and Diverticulitis and had a bowel resection and fistula repaired earlier this year - its all stress related and I have a very high stress load and a very stressful job. I love what I do but its slowly killing me so im changing jobs to a less stressful environment. [Less]

Really you need to sort out this stuff Adel
I also disagree with the freelancing and commitment statements - they are bad generalisations - I know very few BP's who work as ..."

Long time no hear. where are you boy. It has been a long time since we heard of you. The last time you were withdrawing from effexor then you were on 900 seroquel. I assume you must be OK since you don't post anymore
