  A comment on Conversation: What advice would you give a younger you?

  Jul 25 2012: "Stay cool. Things are going to be tuff but you're even tuffer. So act like it without fear."

• A comment on Conversation: If one's mental illness could be cured by a single pill, would you choose to do so?

  Jul 25 2012: I wouldn't take it. I have bipolar disorder and though I would like to eliminate a lot of what happened thanks to it, when I take medication to become more stable I feel extremely uncomfortable with the lack of speed in my head afterwards. I do take it, but just enough to keep it showing. So, I rather have my episodes and keep the speed up, or down, depending on the time of the year, but keep feeling things as I generally do.
