Hi Janice,
I adore you. I'm still quoting you to my friends. You have a way with words that is so perfect and enjoyable. My two favorites, and please forgive me if I'm remembering them wrong, are:
"I thought my highs were real and my lows were the flu." Nothing for me has ever summed up my entire life experience better than that one sentence. It's brilliant!
"Day dreaming probably deserves more attention." What can I say? Another perfect gem, like a haiku, completely self contained. You give me great joy.
Now, although I too am bipolar, I've got to tell you that bad morning depression easing into OK by evening is a classic symptom of plain old unipolar depression, and MAY not be part of your manic-depressive condition at all. Some days I can't make it into the office before noon, but I don't mind staying as late as needed to get the job done. In fact, staying up all night sometimes significantly helps my depression for several days.
Keep on keepin' on, Janice. I'm so glad you're here.
Mark H.
