I remember March 11, 2008 like it was yesterday. That was the first day I was in the hospital. I was scared, lost, filled with panic; I was crashing straight for the ground at 100mph. The first thing I had to do was learn. I needed to know what I was facing. The reality of it was I was facing something that would never go away and was not going to prove an easy combatant.

What was your experience? What did you have to overcome? What was the hardest thing you faced?

I have talked to many people who believe that when they are hypo-manic they are more creative, can solve problems faster and are in an almost euphoric state. What do you guys think?
