Well, the Van Gogh exhibit wasn't nearly as good as I had hoped. There were about 60 paintings in the show by his contemporaries, and only about 5 paintings by Vincent himself. They were beautiful, and there were also about a dozen of his charcoal sketches as well, but I just expected more. Humphhh...
Anyway, Mark is worrying me again. He is becoming more & more paranoid and has decided that he can't trust anyone on earth. He said that he will fight his diagnosis, and if they still say he's BP, they can't make him take his meds. He's getting more & more angry and is obsessing over internet research re: mental health patients' rights. He's supposed to go back to work Thur. I hope he can focus enough to keep his job. He has seen his counselor, though. He neglected to tell the counselor that he's off his meds, but it sounds like the counselor suspects it.
I sure could use just one day to rest, to not be afraid that he's in danger. As stressed out as I am, though, I can only imagine what he must go through on a daily basis. When he's well, he constantly worries that he might be slipping into mania or depression. He never feels like he can relax. He's an amazing friend, BP notwithstanding, and I'm proud to know him.

Wow, I love your writing style. I do not know if I have recomended you a book called The bipolar Advantages By Tom Wootton. He has also a web page. Any how, since I have been diagnosed, I have read several books on BP, but when I read this one in particular, it brought more insight and awareness of my condition. My husband read it too, but he did not like it as much, so it can go either way. But I think that he was expectaing more medical information, and the book is more inspirational than anything else. At least that what I think. Have a good day tomorrow!!!!
