      well let me see, lost a child stillborn, dad was dying of cancer, wife an not understanding, systems admin of 5 companies lead to stress overload into massive clinical depression, I checked myself into a psy hospital and diagnosed as a bpII. Explains why I could work for 20 straight hours on a hobby :), Was in therapy about 6 years used eskalith,and an antidepressant x something. The doc told me I wasn't taking my meds right, so I quit. That was at least six years ago. I work part time.

    • Close ADHD / ADD

      Did n't do to well in scool, always had to read the same page like 40 times before something would stick. Highly creative. Now suffering with bipolarII. Link? When I took an Iq test by a professional it came back as 80, even though I have been a systems admin over 5 companies in the the past before the BP diagnosis. So I think add and maybe an ld has played a major force in my life. Is add related to something traumatic in my life?
