Well, I'm never going to say that I like having Bipolar Disorder, because I don't.

What I can say, is that each person in this world has their own set of struggles. And frankly, there are far worse things that I could suffer from than Bipolar. I have a mind that can think intelligent thoughts, I have legs that can walk, I have eyes that can see and ears that can hear. Yes, I may have this difficult mental illness. But it can also be managed, if enough time and patience is put into it.

It took me 9 hospitalizations and over 3 years to realize this, so I can understand if many of you don't share my perspective. It sure took me a long time to get here. But instead of focusing on what's bad in our lives, why not focus on the good things too?
