> helllo? i don't see how you or anyone could think i was taking a jab at you re: high IQ. i thought it was very clear that i was agreeing and/ or empathizing with you that high IQ is indeed very common/ goes hand-in-hand with those who have a mood-disordered diagnosis. beyond that, i was injecting a bit of (general) levity - always helps me.

(as it has seemed, in the past, to be far more common for a bipolar to be misdiagnosed as unipolar, instead of the "opposite," which is what happened to me.)

Please accept my apologies for the misunderstanding. I, too, generally do not call people out - unless I feel I'm being attacked. There were elements in what you said that did not feel empathetic, but let's call it water under the bridge. As a newbie here you can imagine I have no idea how people "dialogue" around here. I will admit my guard is *way* up; in life, it has to be, quite necessarily.I am glad to hear that you're doing better than before, and that you had the chance to share your story. It's an inspiration for the rest of us.
Humbly - K
