The year is 2007 and Im just now completing the writing of this book, which I began during the spring of 1999.I can be a procrastinator, but there were also other reasons for taking so long.My father past away in 2000 and this had a profound affect my disorder and eventually I ended up in a VA Hospital in Kansas for about six months.

From what I understand, my manic episodes were much like those of others, except that one psychiatrist has told me that mine were mostly in a manic state.Please understand that anyone with this disorder will also experience periods of depression and I most certainly have done that.I would gradually find myself going into a euphoric state of mind, which was a great high at first.

I would suffer my first manic episode during my first tour of duty in Vietnam while serving with the 173d (Abn) BDE.I was diagnosed with having Battle fatigue.Little was known about Manic Depression in 1967 or at least in Vietnam.I was so ashamed of myself for allowing this to happen to me, that I would volunteer two more times to go back to Vietnam. I felt I needed to prove myself to be brave.

I would not have another episode for sixteen years, but Im confident that as I look back to some of the bazaar behavior pattern demonstrated throughout the years both in Vietnam and also during the years leading up to my retirement from the Army, I have had minor type episodes.
