I know this started out as a deer wreck, but something must be said. I have Type II Bipolar Disorder (Manic is less than Depressive), I am a certified support group facilitator. There are several on this site, including me, who are at higher risk for suicide than the general population. My Bipolar is hightened by chronic back pain gained the old fashion way. I worked for it. Many won't believe this, but men over sixty years of age are in the high risk group. Add alcohol abuse, drug use (Prescription, many times), divorce, loss of a spouse, withdrawal from society, and loss of income and it quickly becomes a problem. If you are having a problem, keep going till you can find help. Mental disorders take around 6-8 years to accurately diagnose and treat with the proper method. Look up NAMI or NIMH on Google. Please do not discourage those on here by telling stories of those who couldn't or didn't get help. There is hope. It's just an illness. Find your cure. I think what Palidin said is true for most of us. We have a little 650 cure, or at least some good therapy. And to clarify, I don't think Palidin is mentally ill. I just read what he was saying through the eyes of someone who is mentally ill. Thanks for reading. Boofer
