[Servant of the Nine]

I know what's wrong with me. I think it's inherited from my grandmother.

I inhereted mine from my fathers side of the family. We all suffer from Clinical Depression and an occasional case of crankiness and tendency to shoot people.
I know they get a lot worse as we get older.
Fortunately some of the new antidepresants seem to help a lot.

I've read the fun facts about some of what they prescribe, and it honestly shouldn't be given to the bipolar or the schizophrenic.
Like I said, xanax and docepin run the risk of permanent sterility.
And Paxil has the fun side effect of possibly bringing out latent psychosis.

And prozac just plain is bad news.

My grandmother is possibly BOTH bipolar and schizo.
Violently so.

I tend to be reclusive and 'hermit like'.
That is probably the only plus side to it.
Besides the sense of humor.
And the talent with drawing.

Heard a rumor somewhere that bipolars usually have an unusually high blood iron content.
When I had mono, they did a blood iron test and said test has a drop of blood dripped into a certin fluid.
(Can't recall which one at the moment.)
They time the rate of 'sink' of the blood drop in the fluid.
That corresponds to a certain iron level.
Mine sank like a stone.
Fast enough that the nurse had difficulty timing it.
The look on her face was priceless as she watched it sink, looked at her stopwatch, and looked at me.
