Don't you want to be bi-polar?

Okay now before all of my mental health professional friends freak, this post isn't to make fun of anyone with mental illness or to make light of illnesses of any kind. That said, read on.


Raise your hand if you aren't taking any mood-altering, mood-enhancing, mentally energizing or emotionally stabilizing drug?


Just what I thought.. I am the ONLY PERSON with my hand UP.


I've actually asked my general practitioners before for something, anything, to take the edge of. I've had brutal jobs where I stayed stressed to the max and gained pounds and pounds. Yet every doctor always told me - you don't need anything; you're normal.


Now what kind of doctor tells a patient - no you don't need drugs? Am I the only person who seems to routinely find ethical doctors everywhere I turn?
