There are some people I know, including my brother, who I will not tell. That's b/c they see bipolar as the really whacked out "movie" version. There are many shades of bipolar, and I bet most of us don't fit that stereotypical mold at all. Most of us live on the bipolar roller coaster and most of the people who know and love us think of us as "moody" or "eccentric". It's easier for them to think that, than to think "chemical imbalance". LOL So, let them continue to think I'm moody or eccentric.... and I'll keep taking my Lexapro and Lithium.
