Shirl...I thought of you when I was typing that out...There was a point over the summer that there was severe flooding in my area and all of these things were still in a box in the garage...I wasn't worried about the house I own, but i was in TEARS at the idea of losing these items and the stuff my dad has painted for me (which are similar in their value to me...each thing he's painted has been a painting of a picture I took that represented a peaceful happy moment in my life). I can only imagine what that felt like for you.

we were really fortunate that most if not all of our family photographs (some way pre digital camera) survived the fire in some pretty unusual places throughout the house and most of what didn't survive was saved in external places (tinypic, myspace, fb, hotmail...etc etc)

first thing I went looking for was my wedding rings, and found them immediately...next up was some photo albums that were largely unscathed...some restoration work needed but not severe

its funny you mention paintings because I had an oil painting my mother had done in a very ...unique...point in her life well before I was born and it was utterly destroyed..I found a piece of its frame
I was profoundly sad it didnt make it because I feel like I
lost an important part of her history


ok...enuff about me ...resume your regularly scheduled program

She's bi polar 2 which is a helluva different than bi polar 1. Bi polar 2 is very similar to depression , because the bouts of hypomania are usually just highly productive states.

don't know the DSM classification of her illness, but she was suffering enough to check herself into a Psych facility as an "inpatient" during pre-production of 2 films.

It's been a rough year for her.

Silver Hill is the same place Michael Jackson had been inpatient at (as well as many other stars and famous rich folk). Its in the town where I lived when I was in HS. I wonder what it's like inside. Probably a lot like a resort/spa. Probably a nice place to de-stress.

The depression is much more crushing than regular depression though.
