I'm a bit mixed on this one. ('scuse the pun)
I can do without being glued to my bed and suicidal, and I can sure do without being so messed up excited that the world becomes scarey and lonely for all the wrong reasons.
But somewhere in the middle, I can feel and do things that I see many non Bipolar people can't relate to, and I don't want to give that up. It is who I am, and who I have been for the last 40 something years.
If my world stops spinning now, I will be crushed by the gravity of the situation.
