Kay,

Yes, you recognize that it is a personality thing. But I think he acts like
he could be manic as well. I see some mania a little in my Dad as well.

Brother did about a month of jail-time when he was in his early twenties for
participating in a sale of something (acid?) that cost my father a lot in legal fees.

Brother runs high -- as if he is bipolar. But never diagnosed. Has anxiety, too, as do all of us siblings.
After the jail stint, he self medicates with alcohol and lots (TONS) of exercise.

He has a lot of friends that have stayed with him from all of his moves around
the country.



He has an amazing memory -- can quote from the books he reads.

He runs high -- always busy with tons of energy.
And he has anxiety.
I do not see him enough to recognize the ups and down of bipolar.
Maybe he does not cycle -- mostly stays up.
