Everything you wanted to know about madness - actually you'd rather not know.

Basic Info BioGrew up in a slum in inner Adelaide.
Brought up by my Syncretist/Spirtualist medium/Ngarrandjeri Shaman Grandmother and my white Grandfather. Read far too much magical/mystical crap before I was 12.
Compounded the mistake with far too much christianity (Catholic, Evangelical, even Puritan) until I was in my early twenties at University.
At Uni drank, edited magazines, discovered the joy of programming, helped destroy Australian Union of students (I regret this)and married at 26 (she was 21 and wanted to escape an abusive family).
Got some higher degrees in Maths and Stats, worked in physics and maths departments and lived a very quiet life until we came to Sydney.
Had two beatiful sons.
Also worked for CSIRO, a direct marketing company, the NSW government, some telcos and airlines here and in Taiwan.
Got really depressed.
Ended up in a bank.
Left my wife.
Got SSRI's.
Went back to my wife. Discovered marriage without love doesn't work too well.
Fell in love with trollsb (not my wife).
Went really mad - ended up in a psychiatric hospital.
Diagnosed bipolar II.
Left wife for good.
