OK, I'll bite.

If there's something to be said for bipolar (well, there is, but most of it would probably violate PC's Terms of Service), it's that it is NEVER boring. We just don't know from month to month, or sometimes even day to day, how well we'll be able to cope with life and all the stuff it throws at us. It's hard to make commitments when we don't know how we're going to feel when the time comes.

That said, a friend of mine puts it this way: "Having bipolar disorder is like seeing everything in the world as poetry---the highs, the lows, the pain, the wonder, the intensity of it all....sometimes overwhelming, but always worthwhile."
