It’s interesting to see how many negative posts are there. I honestly wouldn’t give away my condition even if I could. ... On the other hand, maybe I’m only saying that because it’s nearly 04:00 a.m. here and I’m mildly... something.

Nevertheless, I do think that in overall the illness has given me more than taken. Sure, I’ve done some whacky stuff and I do feel sorry for ruining all those relationships. I would have never thought I could cause so much pain, unintentionally yes, but still...
*But* I’ve felt, I still feel, the world so intensely (like everybody else in this forum ) and I’m grateful for that. I feel as if bipolarity has given me the opportunity to (occasionally) feel truly at home with the world. And however rare the occasions, I do love it still. I think the condition has made me more insightful, more loving, a better person.
(And I won’t probably think so couple of weeks later.)
