What a great thread! Thanks to all who posted. I am working through a lot of shame myself with a fairly new (2-yr-old) diagnosis of BP2 with severe depression. I am learning that people who have mental illness may suffer more than "others" but we have more beauty, compassion, and depth to offer as well. I made a list of all the things I like about myself and read it when I'm down.
