EdenAimee--thank you, that website had me laughing so hard.
M1--My ex-husband had been diagnosed with bi-polar long ago, but I don’t think he really had it. As you said, it is a diagnosis given to many many people who present with emotionl issues. I would say that he is definitely more borderline personality disorder.
I have always been a kind of depressed person ever since childhood, even though I had a great childhood. I am also the kind of person without a lot of energy. I mean it’s never been a big problem or anything, but that has always just been my personality. Now it’s interesting to think about it being caused by a slight reduction of cortisol because I am a carrier. Maybe I should get off the zoloft and take some cortef :)
