Comment on How I Overcame Bipolar II (and Saved My Own Life)

Comments

You know, I was gonna write this on Forbes but I didn't want to sign up for it, so here goes, Mike:

According to your Forbes bio, line one, you "shatter limited thinking." Dude, you just shattered my limited thinking about bipolar disorder. You've turned "hypochondriac needs a girlfriend" into a heroic journey of self-discovery...like Woody Allen without the humor. Just the heart. You've delivered a tour de force through the causes of this widely misunderstood and under-diagnosed syndrome; you've given a whole new generation of overstimulated hackers a whole new disease to research on the internet; and you've left humanity with an earth-shattering, blow-by-blow account of what it really feels like to experience spoiled-manchild melancholy, all the way from a loft in Williamsburg back to your parents' basement, by way of Buenos Aires. I don't know which you deserve more -- a medal, or a decent lay -- but at least now that you've honestly expressed to half the western world which one actually matters to you, you'll surely get the credit you deserve.
