I'm trying to figure out what it means to be normal. None of my friends really understand what I struggle with on a daily basis. My wife tries so hard to have and open mind and wants to understand but she doesn't really get it. Even though I was diagnosed with BP I well into my adulthood the symptoms have been there since my mid to late teens.

The only normal I know is having this illness. I don't understand what it means to be 'normal.' Does anyone else struggle with this? What is normal to you?
