> This was one of the first books I read when I was dx'd with "mild bipolar II". It completely enthralled me, and I kept on reading bits of it to my husband, who, I quickly understood, wasn't as fascinacted with the topic as I was.
Too bad everyone isn't as interested in this book as we are. I wish more people would read it so that they understand better.
My doctor thinks I might have what he called a "soft bipolar" condition based on the fact that I have periods where I sleep well and periods of insomnia. I wonder if that's what you're saying about yourself. I'm not certain I agree in my case. I'm not certain I disagree either. I think the times that I have insomnia may be specifically related to stress or to hormones. I'm watching things closely now to try to figure out exactly what's going on. How do your symptoms manifest? Maybe I should look into this more in Solomon's book if I'm up to it. It's an excellent book (just judging by skipping around in it) but it has been painful to read at times so I thought I might put it aside until I was in a better state of mind.
