Hi there
I 'm like reader and don't want to be "defined" as an illness but I have been finding out more about bi-polar and can relate to quite a lot of it.
I see you are a Brit, angharad, so have you seen the documentary or film by Stephen Fry about this illness? It's called "The secret life of the manic depressive"
I found it very interesting and it helped me feel less alone in experiencing some of these symptoms.
However one thing I did find curious was that most of the people he interviewed said that although it's a dreadful illness if they could get rid of it they wouldn't.
Any reactions to that or has anyone seen this film?
