I think others already know that I don't have a normal brain, and I'm pretty sure I was that way before I knew about D/s stuff.

Depression is known as "the common cold of mental health."

I'm not at all sure I buy your hypothesis.

That was actualy my point.  I've never thought of 'normal' as being a good thing.  You need to have a unique brain to see things in original ways.

manic depressive is more descriptive

bipolar disorder sounds too clinical
