(Am not voting in the poll as I'm not diagnosed with anything yet!)
I don't know if I would change anything about myself. It's me. If nothing else, it's a huge part of who I am... and would I still be me if it went away entirely? When I'm not currently in a depressed state, I'm grateful for having experienced it in a weird way... because I can relate to others pain, even if they can't relate to mine. I like knowing that I am supportive and understanding.
And I like the periods of massive energy. I don't typically act on my dumb ideas or do anything that's really risky (I'm a pretty cautious person normally, so when I do get risky it might not be that bad in comparison to other people!)
I tend to have a lot of nightmares as one of my sleep habits - they terrify me and disrupt my sleep, but once I've woken up I usually enjoy looking back on them because I enjoy the horror genre. Sometimes they're right funny and I can't figure out why it was so scary for me. If I go too long without having nightmares.... I start to miss them and wonder what's wrong and why I'm not having them anymore. It's a love/hate thing.
This is a rather hard question to answer! haha.
