Hi Marci,

First, thank you (and Donna) for the kind words on the roll call yesterday. I appreciate the welcome.

Second, I purchased and read (last night, in one sitting) Detour: My Bipolar Road Trip.
I found it to be an excellent book, very easy to read, educational and entertaining too.

I am learning so much about BP. Some things that they just don't tell you on the 'clinical' sites... like the feelings of isolation dating back forever, and for me, the problems I have with face recognition... I just can't remember people! It's so embarrassing, especially with customers who've been in over and over and they know me... but I can't remember who they are! I thought it was brain damage (no, seriously! I was in a bad car accident as a child and had some major head trauma...) I've always thought that maybe there was something wrong with me that I couldn't place people that I am supposed to recognize... but reading has let me know that this could be an effect of BP...

Since you've been on this board so long, I am curious if there is anyone out there who has mentioned the same problem? Should I post it as a general question? I am really curious.

Now you have me wondering!
