I love that book! It is by Kay Redfield Jamison. I have a copy and I have read it about 10 times!
I'm glad our talk helped. It helped me too. When Cymbalta comes out in Canada next month or so, I plan to try it.
Take care,
Maxime> i just finished a great book: An Unquiet Mind, by a lady, a PhD in Psych. (can't remember the name) who struggles with BP... i highly recommend. its kind of an autobiography. its a fairly short book. shes also a poet so the writing is really well done and interspersed with poetry.
> i don't have the bipolar part, just the depression, but the steroids really gave me an idea what the BP would be like... not good!
> i agree the fatigue is sometimes the worst part. i took some amantidine today, but it doesn't seem to help me much but it does clear my sinuses some. the pain is bad too though. i also find myself searching for words more and forgetting things more easily. its scary.
> i feel better after writing to you and hearing from you. thank you!
