Anyway, Curtis, it's hard to tell just from message board posts. You do seem depressed at times, so I hope you're taking care of yourself.  |
Yes, it sounds like your ex-roommate was bipolar! It's so sad that people don't get treatment for the disease. I had a friend who finally got treated when she hit bottom, she tried to jump out of a car on the freeway while on vacation in CA because she thought people were after her. So crazy. But she is happy and well today after getting treatment!
