I have many mixed feelings on both issues. I too have a much better fall,winter, spring. Summer, for me is terrible. I am BPD and have PD w/ agoraphobia. In the summer, I an barely leave these house to cycle or run any exersize...come fall I begin to run and cycle daily...winter is filled with snowshoing, running, some cycling and time in the gym if the weather is too much for the day.

During spring I still do well and now begin taking effexor, the ad that helps me the most, to get ready for the "inevitable" summer crash. Hmm I am not alone...

I was a social worker in what seems to be a past life. Kay Jamison, a pschyitry prof at John's Hopkins med school, wrote a book dealing with her "coming out" (my choice of words, not hers) as having BPD. Might want to read. For her, self-disclosure hepled her carrrer, for me it wreaked it. I began feeling a bit more liberated and decided to be more open...I lost two jobs in two month, have no references and a bad resume...and mind you, I self disclosed in a field that should have supprted me and insted ostrasizded me.
