[Gpdd] Health : Bipolar

[Carly Austin]

Hello Jamie,

I too have issues. I do not have bipolar disorder but
I do have ADD and ADHD.  (Apparently there are minor
differences and I got them both.)  The issue with that
is simalar to yours with attatching to things.  I am
very empethetic to animals.  I get physicaly ill
thinking about my babies dying. After the loss of my
Smeagol, no one could understand why I just couldn't
get over it.  I called into work three days, and could
not watch any movie with Smeagol in it. At work, I had
to avoid everyone named Emma, as this is Smeags girley
pig. It swung me into a deep pit, one that I still
fall into every time I think about my little man. It
makes you "feel" more than most "normal" people.  

This sucks, let me tell you.  We just had a flood in
my town, Winona MN, along with surrounding areas. I
started to think about all the animals that got left
at home when the owners were given 5 minutes to
evacuate their homes. I worry about it. Too much, I am
told.  Funny thing, until recently, when diagnosed
with these disorders, I honestly thaught that everyone
thaught and felt this way!  Wierd. 

So there is my babble, Jamie, I don't know exactly
what it is like to be Bipolar, but ADD/HD and Bipolar
people share many traits.  I understand how you feel
to a great extent. 

I still cannot watch Lord of the Rings, and that was
three years ago already.
