How many suicide attempts did you have? How many relationships did you lose? Jobs? How many thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars (whatever is a big amount for you, for me at that time it was hundreds of thousands) dollars did you waste? Did you ever drop out of school because of Bipolar? Do you have Bipolar I or Bipolar II? Before you answer these questions, Venus, we are talking apples and oranges. It is only when we are absolutely dead sure that we are comparing apples to apples that this conversation can even begin.
