Sounds like you're doing better than I was -- with bipolar like this, I tend to have have the reduced inhibition, too.

But mostly, it's going away now.

The reduced inhibition I am talking about isn't saying things as they come to mind or grabbing at women. More primal things like I was welding the other day and reached for a chunk of glowing steel, and did before I could think not to. I have to think about what I'm doing as I do it or things go bad really quickly. Actually have some slight damage to the part of the brain that controls it. But its getting better.

Then you wouldn't be receiving an up grade from me. Call it even.
