Can anyone tell he what bi-polar (sp?) disorder is? You know in a nutshell.

In a nutshell? It's the new name for manic depression.

Off to bed now.

Yes, it is what people used to call manic depression. The sufferer alternates between states of mania where they rush around being hyper and then they are intensely depressed. During the up-swing they can also experience fear of the depression they know will follow. Why do you ask?

Isn't your mother a doctor

I just said so, on the previous page!

See...told you, you were getting old

At least I do not appear to have pre-senile dementia.

I'll hang on a bit longer before I go to the doctor, I'll try some Ibuprofen first.

So you did...I missed that one. I thought I remembered you saying she was, in another thread.

Ibuprofen will only mask it You have to find out the cause.



Nighty night.

I know, so I've tried to change how I sit to work and anything else it could be, including buying new pillows which I also thought it could be.

Nighty night.

I love Stephen Fry, so so much. Was telling my Mum that I wish I had a thirst for knowledge like his & she muttered something about it & then went to bed.

[Lucylastic]

Yes, I like him too. He's well known for depressive episodes, as so many creative people are.

I'm off too, now I know it's not you who's depressed. Night night.

Hello Emily

[EmmyBee]

How have you been Jj?

[jinjin]

I have been busy at work finishing a new product release that a prior team messed up. (They have been released.) My team would have completed it last week, but we encountered an unexpected and unrelated small delay. So I delayed my holiday (was supposed to be off today) to complete the remaining work.

[EmmyBee]

Oooooooo sounds exciting.

[jinjin]

It will be when it is over.

[EmmyBee]

Lets hope so.
