Whether or not we consider ourselves bipolar, the important thing--at least for me--is that we believe we can get better.<BR/><BR/>Susansbwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881627992105939490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2399633159122258332.post-34521613964458662972008-05-18T17:56:00.000-05:002008-05-18T17:56:00.000-05:00Annie--Thanks for stopping by!

As to whether I'm right or not, time will tell, but I have a feeling there is something to it.

In my case I have been correctly diagnosed bipolar for many years. I am glad you do not have to be on meds! This was my first time on your site and I will come back.

Better for pharma to deny that their drugs can cause these kinds of reactions...better to act like they are doing us a favor by uncovering our "latent bipolar disorder", since it makes their customer base that much larger.Jazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733411405712601399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2399633159122258332.post-86815977910797977062008-05-18T12:08:00.000-05:002008-05-18T12:08:00.000-05:00Jazz,I'm happy for you and I too have come to simi...Jazz,<BR/>I'm happy for you and I too have come to similar conclusions as you have....my "bipolar" was drug induced. <BR/><BR/>But I'm different in that it should never have been called bipolar...and my interpretation of your situation if the same. <BR/><BR/>You were toxic on chemicals...how is that a brain disease called bipolar? <BR/><BR/>Certainly we've experienced symptom clusters that get Monica Cassanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13969938853749704756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2399633159122258332.post-49204894103359743482008-05-18T11:24:00.000-05:002008-05-18T11:24:00.000-05:00Wow...sorry for your dad...it's amazing what some ...Wow...sorry for your dad...it's amazing what some of these food additives that are supposed to be safe can do to us, isn't it?Jazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733411405712601399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2399633159122258332.post-86847056589727564552008-05-18T11:15:00.000-05:002008-05-18T11:15:00.000-05:00Wow, that's a great perspective.

Come to find out it was the diet drinks. He was allergic to those chemicals. He quit drinking diet drinks and symptoms left. That was several years ago and he still never touches the stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
