Okay,I know you don't know me, but I read your page. So I feel it safe to say that I agree with the other poster; they didn't have
have medication or even the trained doctors to treat and understand this illness in Hemingway's time. I know a couple of people with this disorder(my grandmother being one of them). I also have two close friends and one member on this site who are bipolar. Sometimes I think my daughter is, but we're working on that because she's not even in preschool yet. Anyway, don't be scared. Do what you said--research it and talk to others. You'd be surprised at the number of people who are riding in the same boat you are. Real friends, true friends, will get used to the mood swings and understand that they aren't personal, intentional attacks. Heck, my grandmom....well, we won't mention what she did but I knew she didn't mean it. Take care, and keep your head up. I think you'd be a great English major; you are a great writer and cool to read:-)

Thank you so much for your encouragement and concern. I just hope that I come across more people like you in the future - people who can understand that its tough.
