      In what way did you have a manic episode and what are you paranoid of. You have a loving wife and two kids and raising children takes a very strong person and atleast you are trying to seek help with your fight an not go it alone you sound like a good guy not a let down

      My mind is always racing never wanting to shut down , I liken it to a road full of cars when I'm high and a empty foggy road when low that's the only way I can describe it .

      Totally with joe dont apologise for your situation dude its not your fault only your battle! I agree maybe you should focus on something to occupy the mind remove the negativity a little....maybe when your ready? Get some rest, your family love you, and you will rise again out of the black hole man hang in there Rich man !
