If you are reading this you obviously want more information about me, so I should oblige.

My name is Christopher, I’m gay and I’m married.  Those last two points narrow my location down to one of the 7 countries were same-sex marriage is legal.

It’s South Africa, if you really need to know.

I’m speeding towards 40, and if age really didn’t matter to me I probably wouldn’t have mentioned that.  It doesn’t bother me terribly, though I suspect people are going to start asking questions about goals, etc. as I move into my 40s, and that bothers me.  Leave me to live the life I want.

Early in 2009 I was diagnosed as having Bipolar Mood Disorder (BMD), which helped explain my mood swings during the preceding two years.  Being diagnosed doesn’t make things better though.  For the past 12 months we’ve been trying to find the right combination of medication, and it isn’t an easy, or cheap, process.

I’ve been very lucky in that my employer has been very supportive and are doing their best to accommodate me, especially in light of my social phobia which has me office bound in a position which normally only allows for 20% office time.

At this stage (Feb 2010) I’m still rapid cycling, so expect sporadic bursts of crazy posts, while at other times I struggle to express myself coherently, consider yourself forewarned.
