I like being Canadian, lol!

Apparently we're more respected than Americans when travelling, but since I've never been to another country besides the US, I wouldn't know for myself.

Most likely.

Of course they like Canadians better. They're jealous of our superiority. On the other hand there's no reason to feel threatened by Canadians. That would be like bullying the class retard.

Damn. LMAO

Ummmmm, OUCH. Thanks.

Batlord's overcompensating.

I think I may be right on the brink of a manic episode or I'm already there.

No not professional in any way. Just what I have gleaned from my own experiences first and second hand. Unfortunately bipolar isn't something I have any personal insight with. Finding the right shrink is certainly a challenge. I'm not exactly pro-meds but I do think they have their place. I also think they are way over-prescribed. Lables are good and bad when it comes to mental illness. I think it's never as clear cut as a simple lable would suggest. Generally it's the closest fit to a cluster of symptoms, usually biased to the prescribing doctor's area of expertise. I guess I can only say to keep looking for a good match shrink-wise. Oh and look after yourself. The basics like diet and exercise are too easily dismissed.

Sorry if that comes across as patronising or anything. I wish you wellness.

Does anyone else go through times where you can't stop crying and don't know why you're upset? Since going off anti-depressants I have gone through bouts of this and I think it was largely attributed to not having a job for 3 months. Now I'm working in a great job and I feel a lot better but get rather anxious about going through it again.

Going off anti-depressants can really mess you up during weaning. I went off way too quickly and went through all sorts of weirdness.
