I don't have an answer but I'm anxious to hear what others have to say. In a thread I started recently it's been suggested that I might be bi-polar and should seek the help of doctors and medication. To me it seems extreme, but maybe it's exactly what I need.

I have to say though that I don't think we can "get" anyone to seek help. They have to want it, just like any kind of recovery.
