I think that old term “manic-depressive” is more descriptive than the new term “bipolar.” The depressed times of that illness were extremely boring. So, I’ve only included one depressed story here.
My mental illness is a continuum of illnesses, and that continuum differs from patient to patient. I was lucky here. My manic times were sometimes fantastically fun, provided I was only hypomanic, or just Bipolar II, (as opposed to the harsher Bipolar I.)
I figure I was mostly hypomanic and Bipolar II. So, I personally enjoyed these two varieties of the mental illness dubbed manic-depression. (But, my wife and my bosses; they never enjoyed my manic antics as much as I did.)view less
