Thanks, Joslynn. That looks like a worthwhile book to read (and it's available for 50 cents!).It's not the fact that I write and rewrite her letters that makes me think I'm bipolar. What worried me was how thrilled I was with the letter last night before I went to bed, and how dumb I thought it was this morning when I woke up. Makes me worry that yesterday I was semi-manic and it was making me much too excited and impulsive. Luckily, I didn't do anything I have to regret (like send her an email or something) but I can easily see how in that state of mind I could do something like that.
My guess is the letter is actually pretty good, and my feelings today are unrealistically negative. I.e., I'm on the depressed side of bipolar. I realize that if I *am* bipolar, it's a very mild version.
