It always helps to know we aren't alone. Someone today said that Ben Stiller said he wasn't BP...but I'd heard he was - anyone know the truth on that one? Just curious.

Not a problem MHA. I just thought the topic was interesting and it would be neat that we knew we weren't alone, that famous people out there really had it as well.

Didn't notice Hugh Laurie on there. Maybe I missed it. He's one of my favorite actors and I was (twisted I know) excited when I saw he has it too. I do pretty well, but it's great to see someone in the public eye, who is willing to speak out about it.

I was shocked to see Robert Frost on that list. Him and Longfellow are my favorite poets

A lot of your famous authors are bi-polar. thats where their creativity comes from. I took a class on bi-polar once and they say they will "cheek" their meds to keep their minds racing. Stephen King for example, he is bi-polar.

Thanks for the link BTW, it is interesting.

This is great, my nephew has an exgirlfriend that is bp and when I told her that I was she was so relieved. I'm sure she will be happy to see this list to know that actors and authors are out there.

deleted_user 09/01/2007

hey, how come i'm not on there?

deleted_user 09/01/2007

Wow! Some of them I wasn't suprised, but others, wow.

deleted_user 09/01/2007

Me.
I'm famous.
My neighbours all poke their heads out of their windows to hear me yell on a bad day. I'm known throughout my town for my foul langauge and plate throwing abilities.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
