ive been sick for the past three days, its either a very horrible cold or a nasty little bug of some sort, i'm not for sure. at any rate, ive been holed up on my couch reading Katherine Graham's autobiography, and the chunk i'm in now is spent mostly talking about her husband's manic depression and how it affected everyone around her.
it's almost eerie seeing myself in bits of that. i finally picked up today that heightened irritability and inexplicable anger are a part of the manic cycle, which recalled little memories of wanted to break things or throw things for now reason.
i also ended up telling a friend of mine about the fact that i'm medicated today. no one ever takes me seriously if i say that i'm ADD because depression + ADD = mellow with no concentration. i don't know, i suppose i'm just in an odd mood of sickness and boredom.

I'm sorry you've been sick - I had noticed your absence. This is not very responsive to your post, but I just wanted to say that I thought Katharine Graham's autobiography was one of the best I've ever read. I was actually sorry to come to the last page.I was really struck by how much she had to overcome to be successful, including her own crippling lack of self confidence, and how she was able to accomplish this at an age where people don't feel up to significant changes.
Anyway - I'm glad you're reading it.

PS: Stop speculating about your diagnosis at least until your next appointment with your pdoc. I'd bring up with him the conncetions you were making in the book.
