lol... I hope I don't get in trouble for saying this, but seriously... Dr Bob needs to get a grip. If he would actually expect people on this board to remember to put double quotes around any book that they're talking about... I mean, come on!!! Do we all not have enough things to worry about and wrap our still mangled minds around other than learning how to double quote every book title? lol... anyways, that's just my take on it. I've got to many other things that I need to worry about, such as my illness....

The good part though is that my head is starting to work a lot better during the last few weeks since I started on the Depakote though. Even though I'm going through Effexor HELL at the moment, I'm still able to think more clearly. I've read 3 books within the past week and am like half-way through my 4th. When I'm able to read material like that, I know my head is working properly again.

That's one of the blessings of Manic Depression though. Your mind is a lot quicker than the average persons. I'm able to retain sooooo much material that it's almost sickening. I can learn most things (other than numbers which confuse me when they're not related to money) at the drop of a hat. I can read over material and be able to hold it upstairs for like extended periods of time. People have been asking me for a while now to try and write out my life story so far since I've led a VERY interesting and wild life up till this point (and I'm still only 24 lol...) but the thing is that when I write, I can ramble on and on about something forever. Like you said, I can spell out a certain situation with ease so that just about anybody can relate to what I'm talking about. But when it comes to creative writing, like using all those adjectives and adverbs and stuff to describe a simple situation, then I'm screwed. My Doctor says that I have like a photographic memory except that it doesn't process colours, dates, and stuff like that.

Like if somebody were to tell me something, I'd remember pretty much word for word everything that they said, except if you asked me what day they said it on, I'd be like, ummmm... Or if you asked me if the speaker was wearing a green or red shirt that day, I'd be like, Jeez....

But same thing, like people have been telling me my entire life, I'm happiest when I have something to apply my mind to. Whether it's reading a book, writing a paper, doing a project, etc. I'm happiest when I'm able to put my head to good use. When I'm not (except for now with the mood stabilizer starting to take effect) my mind would be all over the place thinking about everything. Now though, my mind is kind of just sitting there saying "Mike... don't you remember me? I'm hungry, feed me!!!".

K, I'm done for now, need to go pick up some more Depakote because my supply runs out tomorrow morning.
