> I thought you'd had some euphoric manias as well as the mixed states?
**Yes indeed. Some wild and crazy times but part of it was the times and just part of my nature growing up. I think bipolar takes whatever is naturally there and super-fuels the energy to extremes. The euphoric states were no doubt manias too but so sublime, so close to Spirit, more real than here. I've always been drawn to that place, my foot in both worlds, but mania fuels it to the point of exhaustion. Like, c'mon angels, quit with the heavenly choir so I can sleep.
But who can say what's going on? I suspect that there's some gate that opens, a chemical antenna that is sensitive to other frequencies. Maybe it's the consolation for the rest of it. Kay Redfield Jamison said she wouldn't trade it, even with all the hell. I think I agree, but ask me during the hell and I definitely would not.

> I'd like to try Parnate.**I believe that's Nardil in the US? Well, I wish you the best with it but hope you won't need it. A question for you. You say you're a student in pharmacy. How do you manage it when you're going through a difficult time? I'm thinking of going back to school but am concerned about the stress.
