Unlike yourself, although I'm on no shortage of meds, I continue to struggle with my mood. Regardless, I wish you continued emotional tranquility just as I wish such tranquility for myself. Thanks, Rob Tien -

I can relate to a great deal of what you have been through. I especially appreciated your comments about the 2 years you spent at Ben & Jerry's, why you worked there and the relative happiness of your coworkers. Most interesting is that you say that your bipolar disorder almost killed you twice, while for me it was the medication (Lamictal) that almost killed me. Now I take nothing and struggle daily with the ups and downs (today? Down!) without pharmaceuticals. It's a challenge but after 30 years of trial and error with medication I have given up on them. I have yet to find anything that works overall, but little things help lessen some of the symptoms from time to time. Be well. Marco http://bipolarized.wordpress.com Thanks for sharing your story.
