CeCe, I'm really glad for you. I have recently discovered that I may also be bipolar II . . . I wonder if there's any relationship?
Anyone else have any recent experience or insight?
> I've had a pretty amazing improvement in my reverse SAD over the last several years as my meds have gotten better and better tuned. The last couple of years I've actually enjoyed the sunny summer weather! I still dislike really glary bright light (indoors or out) and I still get enervated by high heat, but my tolerance for both is substantially improved and they don't make me feel crazy.
