The good; I'm genuinely helpful and devoted to anything I choose to do, and I'm exceedingly polite and welcoming and easy to talk to and will give everyone really useful and thoughtful advice.

The bad: my memory problems due to medication make me do exceptionally boneheaded things sometimes and it often ends up a problem. I'm also sometimes undisciplined and slack off. Is that entirely bad, I'm not sure it always is, but sometimes it is.

The ugly: my mood disorder can make me very dysfunctional and lash out when I get depressed, and I've hurt people. I probably also am addicted to Ambien which I've never admitted (I don't abuse it, but I am prescribed it for sleep and am pretty sure I'd never sleep again without it), but I am taking it for legitimate prescribed reasons and if I don't sleep I can't work.
