I watched the expecting the usual crap that missed the point(if there is one)of Manic depression. I suffer from rapid manic depression which means I had no idea from day to day how I would feel, when I was low I wanted to die and have spent a few nights in hospital over the last 10 years dealing with overdoses, I did not want help, I wanted out!!! the usual antidepressants did not help for long!!
The manias where great for me I could do anything and go on forever I thought, but my friends could not keep up ever so I drank heavily to control the highs, I would get so scared and needed a drink then too just to calm down prior to performing in dance sides or singing, in the end I just lost it totally and was finally diagnosed with rapid bi-polar disorder and hyper-mania, now I take Tegretol and mirtazapine and whilst not well (I never will be!) I can get by day to day and know even if I get a touch of the old demon it will pass with a little help and support. I have to say a big thank you to my friends who have supported me over the last 5 years and helped me find a better way to live,

THANKYOU

I hope others get the same help to become at least able to cope with life

You can PM me if you would like to talk to a fellow sufferer who understands how destructive it can be.

Love and light to all
