Anika said it well.

I put aside the " mentally ill" and negative tones of implications of such a dx. I look at it as more of just who I am, it's just part of my human experience. Everyone has battles, so if they don't have bipolar they have to battle something else. No ones life doesn't have hurdles, this is just mine. I also tend to not view myself as bipolar, I just am this way, this is how my brain works, what can I do to work with it?

It bothers me how some bipolars idolize normal (and moreover put down "normal" people's burdens...). Thing is.... we will never be "normal". We may find peace and stability, but our previous highs and lows already changed us too. And as much as we are "unlucky" 3% or so with this diagnosis.... compared to rest of the world, we are extremelly lucky. So it's kinda moot to whine of "not fair". Bipolar sounds so much better than cholera...
I guess for me belief in reincarnation helps a lot.... I need to learn something from this. Been given this quirk for reason.
