Is the name manic depressive attached to that depression and doesn't lithium help it ? I have had a friend, pianist, very talented who has lived with it for years. The medications are not effective any longer. The depressive state is easy for her family to live with than the manic when she will create 1000 C.D.s of her playing the piano and give them away. Or take a trip to Europe and not tell anyone she is going... And then when she crashes it is as though all the electrolytes have left her body and she is a zoombie.

I am sorry to learn that you have suffered from this disease. It must be hell for you.

I felt it like a black hole in the middle of my chest that possessed me and pulled the rest of my body into it. It sapped all motivation and any positive feeling had no chance of survival. I had that in varying degrees for a good part of my life. Sunlight seemed to alleviate the symptoms. The more time I spent outside (working and other activities) the better I felt. And sex was also a good fix. As I got older it seemed to have just gone away.
