Hi Sam,

Long time not talk. I've gone through a lot of treatment and therapy in past two months (I was diagnosed with Bipolar II). I didn't want to evoke any ill feelings so I've kept quiet. All in all, I am still going steadily through the things I said I'd do.

I am emailing just to say: therapy has really helped me. I know it's cliche and sounds kind of lame, still I think you'll find it helpful if you just spend an hour or so with a psychologist or a psychiatrist. If nothing else, you will be able vent. You'll be amazed at the power of just telling your feelings to a complete stranger!

Also we all want to let you know, me especially: we support you. I know I kind of dropped the ball before but never doubt that me, your parents, as well as my family, are supportive of you.

Nothing but good thoughts for you. Add oil!

Also, glad to hear you got a diagnosis; naming something gives you a better grip on it. A second opinion might add perspective too, since psych is not an exact science yet.
