It has been an interesting process, Roger. I probably shouldn’t share, but it feels ‘right’ to do so.

I’m retired, so a diagnosis of this kind doesn’t really hurt me very much. And I theorize that there are other folks out there getting diagnosed with mania of some kind, possibly facing incomplete or in-progress diagnostics… all the stuff that can make the process scary.

And it bears mentioning that my wife has stage 4 cancer- that is a serious and truly life-changing diagnosis. What I’m going through is definitely a thing: very real, and it is kind of scary when your brain goes off on a voyage without permission. But I get to ‘recover’ to some degree, which is truly a gift to be given.
