Yes, this is a great place. Sometimes it has its problems, too, though.
As for the "latching" expereince, perhaps you should plan to be cautious about keep the boundaries firm for now, ie, don't jump into having direct contact with people off of the board.
Also, forgive my directness, but you have mentioned being up all night, and that you feel "addicted" to this site. The lack of sleep makes me think, given that you also have said you have bipolar tendencies, that you are in a kind of hypomanic mode. Between that and the "addictive" feeling--if you haven't seen it yet, Dr. Bob has an "anti-addiction" button at the top of this page. I, myself, have gone through periods of feeling addicted to this place, because it became such a "lifeline" for me, and I really care about reading the ideas from the people I have met and continue to meet here.
