I am watching CSI right now and the story revolves around 2 bipolar characters (one dead mind you). So far I haven't found anything to scream about, but we'll see.

Anyone else have any encounters of bipolar in the media?

I've not once seen any shows depicting us as anything. I am however aware of a country comedian Cletus Judd who has a new cd bipolar and loving it or something like that.

I guess I live a more sheltered life than I thought.

Theres a female t.v. interviewer ( i cant remember her name) that came out with her BP i think in the late summer, early fall. she has her own talk show now.

her main problem ( well one of many) was her excessive spending. she was buying houses, cars, writing a book, making appointments she couldn't possibly keep etc. Her friends, family and co-workers didn't want to ask what was wrong. finally her DH convinced her to go to see her doc. who in turn sent her to a pdoc and she was dx'd with BP

i can definately associate with the spending thing. im still struggling with this so much that pdoc had to up my prozac. i also have a bad prob. with picking my scalp till it bleeds. (i know,sick). not being rich kinda saved me from the big ticket items but i sure did enough damage with what we had. that almost ended my marriage. has anyone else had probs. with family over spending?

yes, i have definite excessive spending issues. in the past year, i have acquired a new camper, a new (well, new to me) jeep, spent thousands on concert tickets, totally redecorated my rec room - new wall to wall carpeting, all new furniture - the works, a laptop computer, a new desktop computer,
