i just wonder why people get there knickers in such a twist when they here the word bi-polar. expletive, do the research, most of the smartest people dead and alive have bi-polar. we are not animals!!! i'm sick of the stupid word associations, oh he / she has bi-polar.................blah blah, crazy expletive in the head etc. i have rapid cycling bi-polar. i live life with a stack of limitations, not withstanding bi-polar. try diabetes, diabetic retinapathy-severe vision impairment, arthritis, slipped disk, heart disease, insomnia, anaemia etc.
it is all about
bloody management. bi-polar, depression, anxiety, medical probs, financial, relationships. you got to work at it. i amin therapy, see a shrink, take medication, challenge myself, see my doc and exercise as much as i can. sorry this has turned into a rant. bi-polar is bloody manageable!! like everything you gotta work at it. yeah hard. but i'll keep my bi-polar if ya take away some of my medical probs anyday.
