I love things like that.

~ No, not really ... my ups and downs create who I am ... I'd be terribly boring otherwise. ^_~;;
Is this disorder like an OCD but dark and self loathing?
~ It can be, in depression, based on the individual person. OCD is a form of anxiety, and most bipolars tend to get very anxious in either extreme, mania or depression, so OCD tendencies can get stronger then.
Does everything require an analysis?
~ Not always, although you might be inclined to while in certain extremes.
Do bipolar have ptsd type issues?
~ They can. Again, PTSD is linked to anxiety, so emergence into an extreme can make it worse.
Do you feel ADHD?
~ Personally, OMG yes. I have so many symptoms of ADD [ADHD without the hyperactivity>, it's not even funny.
Are you sick a lot?
~ Personally, not really, although I know that a lot of bipolars tend to be. Its the stress that the body have to go through with the weight and flux of the emotions that make it worse and hard to deal with.
Hope this helps.

Thankfully, although his passing his understandably hard, I keep thinking about the last time I spoke with him, and the last thing I can remember him saying is how he was proud of me. I honestly don't think I could have a better last memory.
With my mother passing on in 2010, and this now in 2013, that leaves me quite effectively an orphan; I don't know my real father, and don't rightly care to. I still have my brother and my sister, though, so I won't be entirely alone, I guess.
Thank you for all of your thoughts through his sickness, and beyond.
((hugs all))

I hope your mom DOES call that number, and soon! Is there any way they could help the birth at all?

Still, a little self-soothing anyway couldn't hurt. Maybe with a chocolate sundae with cherries on top and whipped cream! lol ^_~;;

So sorry this is happening to you ... I've never had much trouble with my insurance (knock on wood), but I've known a lot of people who have. Just keep bugging them, they'll cave eventually.
Try to take some time for yourself every time you get off the phone with them. You know, de-stress a bit, so it doesn't ruin your whole day ...
