Even though I have often said I'd never wish bipolar disorder on my worst enemy and I blame the disorder for sooo many things that have happened in my life. It's an interesting question. Yes! I wish there was a magic wand that would make everything "better" but would I be me anymore? I've known that I had bipolar disorder since I was 16 (It took me quite a while longer to convince someone to diagnose me).

I often quip that I don't know who I would be without the bipolar disorder. I don't know what it's like to be "normal." I've been this way as long as I can remember. I don't know that I would change that even though it might make me feel better... or I might have to start all over from scratch. I don't want that either.
