I jut read an article about Catherine Zeta-Jones and why she checked into the Mental Health ward.  She was diagnosed as suffering from Bipolar II.

 

It goes on to explain that "brought on by depressive or manic bouts, a person with bipolar II disorder can still be a high-functioning individual but suffers dramatic mood changes caused by stress, anxiety or insomnia."

 

interesting...

 

I love her as an actress, and she's married to 'Jack T. Colton' so she's my hero, but come on...   Listen, I'm not taking anything away from her.  I understand her families been through hell battling cancer.  She's a mother of 2, (with hired help) and her step son did just get sentenced to 5 yrs.  It's not been easy for her by any means, and I understand someone snapping under all of that.  But why is it these days that everyone feels the need to have a disease?  Honestly, read the last part of that passage up there again.... a high-functioning individual but suffers dramatic mood changes caused by stress, anxiety or insomnia." 

 

They are calling it Bipolar II ... 

 

You know what I call it ???  -  LIFE
