Jeni " You're 16 years old, hon, not bipolar......... "

I remember a time when I came into an earlier group with ,

Glitterai and .............and some of the other friends you

will make here at this new formed W & R group.

OH I came to that group with the lable Bi-Polar, and I note

Gliterrai had in the past a similar tag too!!!

One wonders how many people in the wide wolrd are being " RE "

diagnosed as Bi-Polars after previously spending years diagnosed as

UNI-Polars but driven towards the RE diagnosis simply because of

SSRI induced mania and or withdrawl mania???

Well Jeni I'm pleased to tell you that I have been RE diagnosed as

NOT DEPRESSED

NOT MANIC

NOT Epileptic

If I can get my hands on a scanner I'm goung to send the list owner

a couple of documents written by my DR.

Let the world know that I have been " CURED "

The key cornerstone in my cure was getting off the treatment.
