He had a 'beautiful mind." Although he was indeed brilliant, he could not hold a job. My mother endured abuse -physical and emotional and there was no hope or help. As a child, after hearing the midnight to 4 am rants and screams, followed by my mother's tearful pleas for naught-I remember having 2 ongoing fantasies; one fantasy had to do with the accidental death of the monster/father wherein he added rat poison to his coffee instead of sugar; the other fantasy had to do with my being adopted by a stable and healthy family. Manic depression or bi-polar disorder is a destroyer of lives and relationships. It's hard to decide who deserves pity and compassion; the sick person or those of us who have to interact with them.

Nothing works in that state of mind. Now I'm on Seroquel and I sleep very well.

People like you who are coming forward helps to make this easier on folks who may be dealing with something similar, but don't know exactly what it is yet. Social Security is getting more sympathetic to certain mental health conditions. I know they are considering adding schizophrenia to the compassionate allowance list. Joe,
