Seriously?! You found evidence of people WANTING to be bipolar? lol....

Outside of Psychcentral, I have found no community, nothing to partake in. There is, of course, counseling and pdoc appointments, but anything after that, there really is no group to join or fellowship to be had by having this mental illness.

So.... what would be to gain? To tell your friends? Ha! That would get old. I couldn't imagine getting any personal self gratification out of it if a person knew they were full of it.

I don't think any of us actually seeked out the diagnosis. I went in only to prove to my wife that I was, in fact, OK and had the sole intention of hearing that she was the 'crazy' one lol. This caught me so off guard.

I don't like hearing that there are fakers. I think that there should be a law condemning anyone faking mental illness because, after all, it IS exploitation and it makes it hard if someone thinks that you are faking.

Ugh. Disgusting is the right word. Absolutely disgusting.
