2-I had deep interest in literature and cinema before this bipolar disorder but now I have no interest.
3- I feel relaxed in engaging myself in one pointed things..as I use XXXXXXX surfing too much,too much Facebook and trading in stock market and commodity markets.I observed these are places where I concentrate on one point.Commodity market timings is 10:00AM to 11:30PM and thus I keep myself whole day busy in fluctuations of rates.
4- You can guess my insensitivity that I, earner of 35000rs./month, have lost approx. 10 lacs in last 4-5 years.
My present doctor treat this a normal person behavior.
