Ha yeah. No one wants to be.

reminds me tho, short people want to be tall, tall peeps want to be shorted, curly haired wants straight, straight wants curly. Boring lives want excitement and hectic lives want peace. Acceptance I think is the key for all of it. It's not really what you have but what you do with who you are. If you didn't have bipolar you might have something else, could even be worse.
There are some noted good traits about people with bipolar. A few of them were resilience, empathy, creativity, and of course probably intensity. I try to focus on those good points that I have, it does help.
