My husband and I run a Mood Disorder group in Medicine Hat and it is surprising how many people don't seem to know it is even the same as bipolar. When I don't care if people know what I am or have I say bipolar when I want to be more specific I say manic depressive to be sure. We have a website that we started a year or so ago. It is www.mhmooddisorder.com It you wish to check it out. My sister just sent me a link to this blog today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10239675.post-1136828613087620372006-01-09T12:43:00.000-05:002006-01-09T12:43:00.000-05:00I love the title.

She was like a steam train wrapped up in a hurricane transported on a juggernaut, quite unmissable. I recognised her condition when I heard Kaye Redfield Jamison say, 'People think you have to be either manic or depressive, but you can be both at the same time, you can be manic about being depressed,' and I thought, 'That's my girl.' It runs in her family and the family members who have it stand out like jewels beside us dull old plodders. Good luck, with the blog and with the state of mind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10239675.post-1136588947746353622006-01-06T18:09:00.000-05:002006-01-06T18:09:00.000-05:00Well, this works.Well, this works.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00285597626042261061noreply@blogger.com
