I whine constantly about my three roommates prompting everyone to suggest/ask "why don't you just live alone?". I don't live alone because I want to. Because as much as they drive me up the wall I shudder to think of what would happen if I wasn't forced to interact with other people.

I just joined a week ago because of a new drug regiment but this place has helped me more than I ever thought possible. Someone has a quote about it being easier to help other people than yourself and that rings true for me.

There aren't a lot of us with this condition, I think it is less than 1%, but it is so helpful to me to know I'm not the only person who feels this way. Especially because the three other people I know in real life who are truly bipolar have all rejected treatment.

Come here. You may not relate to everything but some things people post are all too familiar, and in less than a week it has helped me.
