Anika, that helped me so much. I'm still struggling with being bipolar. I feel a shame about it. Most people that I've known think of PEOPLE with bipolar disorder as crazy. I myself when I'm manic have gotten out of control. I was just diagnosed 2 yrs ago. I've had many doc's say they thought I was but.....I knew that meant meds for life so I just thought hey it's just depression. The mania I was like, man leave me alone I need this.

Anyway that helped me realize (I still don't feel it deep down yet) I'm not a freak. I don't see other people with bipolar that way, btw only myself. Maybe it's the ptsd too......who knows. But thanks for that take the divider down, I like that.
