I had a feeling DM meant diabetes. I use that abreviation every day. But, you know, diabetes is like bipolar. It can cause you to be stronger to. Instead of fighting it, work with it. You can use it to become healthier physically just like taking care of your bipolar makes you healthier mentally. And, the two go hand in hand and will heal you as a whole.

I like your idea, of thinking of it as something that needs to be cared for instead of something that drags you down.
