Any anti-depressant medication seemed to zombify me. People like Mr Fry were an inspiration to me, and on those days when I struggled to keep myself together, I&#39;d always bear in mind that someone else is going through the same thing as me, if not worse.</p> <p>Eventually (and without help from the esteemed medical profession) I discovered I discovered a link between magnesium deficiency and depression, as well as the deficiency and a plethora of other health issues I had. I tried a magnesium citrate supplement and it was the closest thing to a magic wand I&#39;ve ever seen. Outside Harry Potter, of course.</p> <p>As opposed to a magic wand inside Harry Potter. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/bipolar-2#post-291161 Thu, 24 Jan 2013 11:55:35 +0000 clarkdeu 291161@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Just started reading it, and I&#39;m hooked. It&#39;s everything both of you said, and laugh-out-loud funny as well. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/bipolar-2#post-288682 Sun, 04 Nov 2012 08:20:51 +0000 Rose 288682@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>Hiya,<br /> I don&#39;t know what Stephen would say, but when it all seems too difficult etc, one foot in front of the other works. It&#39;s a simple thing,but has got me through some very dark lonely days. </p> http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/topic/bipolar-2#post-288237 Fri, 19 Oct 2012 10:46:53 +0000 Williams-Racing 288237@http://www.stephenfry.com/forum/ <p>I suffer from being bipolar and am on medication but still most days struggle to get up or even find the energy to do anything. Stephen, how have you managed so well from suffering from this horrible condition? </p>
