Yes to both (bipolar II/NOS), and in addition, hypertension and high 
cholesterol.
Wouldn't have made it to birth, as my parents were Rh-incompatible.
I can sew, garden, cook and do some healer's work, but I am often at 
two with nature, as said Dorothy Parker. I can't tell stories or 
jokes worth beans--no delivery skills, but I can dance to amuse.

I agree with the person who said that the net is great for social 
networking for those who are marginalized or chronically ill--it's my 
major support system as well.
