Holy kee-rap!

How can you tell if you're manic depressive? One day I can't get out of bed, everything is hopeless, I don't want to live. The next day, I feel energetic and, if not happy, I feel... capable.

Okay, I know that this is not a serious question, but it was funny to read this today because just the other day the hypochondriac in me went into overdrive and I was certain that I have both Polycystic Ovaries and Bipolar Disorder.

In reality I probably have neither, of course, but they both run in my family. PO's are more likely in women with diabetes in their family medical history, and diabetes runs in my family-- it practically gallops (Arsenic and Old Lace was on yesterday)-- and would explain why I am a fat, hairy troll (not really, actually I'm an overweight human being with a normal amount of hair growth). This is the most self-contradicting paragraph I've ever written.

As for BPD, my grandmother was manic-depressive, and I do tend to get bursts of energy and talk very fast sometimes, but that is actually a rare occurence probably correlatable to instances of excessive caffeine consumption.
