I think we're getting off the subject of Kira's very heartfelt questions. My fault.
I think Virginia Wolf was also a pretty classic bipolar--as well as Edna St. Vincent Millay...
A far cry from Bobby Brown.
Did anyone (American) see his interview with Diane Sawyer? (with Whitney Houston?) She asked, "Bobby--Why do you smoke so much pot?" He replied, "I'm bipolar...it evens me out." "What about Lithium?" she asks. "Lithium made me feel like a zombie."I was kinda shocked that he admitted it on national television. Even though it made bipolars seem like thugs, I appreciated his honesty.
So Kira, if you are still reading this, understand that there are lots of bipolar folks out there, and you can choose how to treat yourself (with the close counsel of a good psychiatrist). No one can MAKE you medicate. You have to swallow the pills everyday and decide if it is improving your situation! Are you out there Kira?
