Lisa Wood -- I am the one that came up to you and asked about my daughter and then stated that I think I too have bipolar but my doctor has me on citalopram (celexa) right now. You suggested I get a full Psychiatric evaluation. I so appreciated your story and being "real" with me. I am so scared about having a full psychiatric evaluation done on myself. Since my daughter is diagnosed Bi Polar and Borderline Personality, I am really afraid of what my own diagnosis is. I know that diagnosis isn't really important, but I am afraid of who I really am... Sorry if I am gabbing, I am just really scared!!! Talk with you soon, Lisa Julie –

I have to do the same just to get ready for work the next day. I have to go to Atlanta Saturday which is a 2 hour trip from home, however if I don't prepare for it at least 2 days in advance, I am so stressed out. And like you said, it becomes a bipolar thing. I make a list of what I need to take and put a copy in my purse and one in my luggage so that I have a backup in case one gets lost. I also have a copy forwarded to my email address so I can look it up if I need to. OK so, I'm slightly OCD!!!!! I can so relate!!!! I have to do the same just to get ready for work the next day.
