yes, my father is Swiss, and until the mid-80's at least, Swiss citizenship continues to the third generation. I have my papers and all that, and speak just enough German to get around. Switzerland is not a UN member, but I think they have joined some commercial subdivision of the EU, 'cos Swiss kids are usually able to work throughout the continent.
Why would you want to deny being bipolar? It's hard to get much sexier. Jimi Hendrix wrote a song about manic depression, and that makes it cooler by default. You can rely on depression for the spooky ideas, mania for the energy to write it all down.
If I ever kill myself, I'll do my best to make a fad of my method. Maybe I'll slit my ankles instead of my wrists, then stand on my head until I bite it. I wonder if the light at the end of the tunnel will be upside down. For bonus points I could tie a noose from my neck to the floor, so it looks like I'm trying to hang upwards. Suicide meets jamiroquai.
i guess, ben, becos if they actually diagnose you, they can medicate you. that, and i am deathly scared of being labeled. Seems like a turning point from which you can never get back . . .
But I'd be lyin' if i said i didn't revel a little in it all. It's hard to think back because this low cycle has lasted quite a while but I love it absolutely when i'm high flying and i sure write great songs then . . .
The cliffs of Moher. Doolin, Ireland. That's the way to go. For sure. 'Tho I ain't sure i'd want to leave all that Guinness behind.
I have bipolar disorder, among other fun things. I don't think there's any shame in it. You could label me like... "skeptic" or "asshat" or "half-breed", but it doesn't change what I am. It's true that words have power, but they only have the power that we give them

well thank you. i shall remember your words if i am ever at rope's end again. Things have been on a pretty even keel of late; low but ok; as you know though it can be a roller coaster ride with fairly little warning.
