OK...so last night had the first in what will be a long list of therapy sessions. I went with my wife so we can work together on our relationship. The woman we chose is a therapist, not a "pdoc". I expressed my concern that I believe (thanks to my many friends here) that I may be bipolar and then I shared the logic of why. She said the most profound thing....bi-polar is a label and there are varying degrees of that clinical diagnosis. She said she is going to refer me to a nueropharmicoligist who is tops in his field and just happens to be right here just south of me in Clearwater! So I've called and left a message. She told me it would bea challenge to get ahold of them, but to stay persistent and go from there. She feels pretty confident that I am bipolar and wants to confirm it. She said this guy had forgotten more about the chemical makeup and composition of the brain and body than most doctors ever learn. So i am very eager to get together with him!!! My wife and I were also abel to get some things out...although w need many many more sessions to resolve all the issues out there...most of which are all the major stresses we've been dealing with over the last 14-20 months! I am very excited to say the least to finally have a bright spot in front of me...I actually feel a bit ofrelief in my life. of course...the coolest part is that I'm at work right now typing away outside on the front area on my laptop...gotta love people that have a wireless network and don't know how to secure it...thanks Linksys!! So pirate signal and hangin out...excited also about my friend Kirstin.....he husband called her yesterday!!!!! yeah K!! they were able to get together and talk for the first time in a couple months...I am so happy for her...she's been having a really hard time because of the stress he put her through. I eally need to find a byer for my house...that is the biggest burden on me right now. I have a couiple who is trying to qualify for the financing...but it is a $800,000 purchase,so i understand...yes that's right sports fans I live on an 18 acre horse ranch in florida. Don't be jealous...it comes with enormous bills!!!!! so if I can sell I can be debt free and putdown about 50% on a new place!!! Please please...pray for it people...pray to St Joseph...he's the patron saint of families. Talk more later!!! mich love to all!!!

Hope all goes well with the therapy. I used to live in Tampa. Is Saltwater\'s still in downtown Clearwater?
Much love back! Glad to hear things are still going alright there!
Take one day at a time, and I\'ll be praying for you
YES!! I am so happy to hear that the sun is shining in you life again, you will endure.
This is a lot of great news, and I\'m so happy for you. GOOD FOR YOU for doing the legwork necessary to get the ball rolling on therapy and such. Not always easy to do, and I\'m proud of you.
